Clinical Signs in Animals
Cattle, goats and sheep are most commonly infected, and can serve as a reservoir for the bacteria. Infected animals may show respiratory signs such as pneumonia, but also abortion and infertility. Severe systemic signs, such as anorexia and fever, may occur concurrently.

Famous quotes containing the words signs and/or animals:
“Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage,
Till pitying Nature signs the last release,
And bids afflicted worth retire to peace.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“There is no instant of time when one creature is not being devoured by another. Over all these numerous races of animals man is placed, and his destructive hand spares nothing that lives. He kills to obtain food and he kills to clothe himself; he kills to adorn himself; he kills in order to attack and he kills to defend himself; he kills to instruct himself and he kills to amuse himself; he kills to kill. Proud and terrible king, he wants everything and nothing resists him.”
—Joseph De Maistre (1753–1821)
