Abstract:The possible involvement of moulds in the aetiology of New Zealand scatter cockle has been investigated by comparing the total mould counts and individual species counts from fleeces of cockled and uncockled animals.

Counts in both cockled and uncockled groups varied with time of sampling; they were lowest in June… Show more
