"Lucerne Disease." (Aphis D:sease, Leaf Louse Disease.)

By MAJOR H. ALLEN, R.A.v.e., Remount Depot , M ona, Punjab. I ndia. SEVERAL writers h ave recorded the occurrences, amongst imported cattle in hot countries, of a peculia r derm a titis whi ch affects the unpigmented pa rts of th e skin and is induced aft er the ingestion of quantities of certain foodst uffs, such as green clover, lucerne, trefoil or buckwheat. The wh ite parts of t he skin become covered with irrita ting sores, which a re sharply limi terl. to these parts, and do not f'xtend to the coloured portions. The writer had similar cases in his segregation paddocks at Mona I:{emount Depot during 1927, amongst the young stock horses, fed on lucerne heavily infested with Aphis in large quantit ies. Th e white parts of the head and limts on ly were affected. The inflammation of the parts, however, very soon disappeared , and this was fo ll owed by prolonged disquamation. It is inte resting to consider th e possibility t hat a photo-sensitive substance absorbed with the foodstuffs is excreted t h rough the skin and, unde r the action of t he strong direct rays of t he sun , is converted into something which p roduces t h e i rritating efiects upon the white patches.
