Sažetak
At the begining of 1995. approximately 6 000 sheep from Australia and New Zealand were imported in Croatia as donation and distributed to private farmers all over the country. During the spring and summer of the same year a great number of native seep thate were in conctat with imported animals developed the signs of an ocular disease closely resembling to ovine keratoconjunctivitis. This disease has not been yet etiologically diagnosed in Croatia. Microbiological examination of conjunctical smears revealed a great number of animals infected with glucose-fementing mycoplasmas and Branchamella ovis. The infection with Chlamydia psittaci was not establishesd in any examined case. At the time of sampling the imported animals did not reveal clear-cut signs of disease, but were frequently found infected with mycoplasma and branhamella. Besides the results of microbiological investigation of epizootia, an outline of literature data on infectious ovine keratokonjunctivitis was given in the paper.
