Diseases of sheep recorded in Ghana since 1912 have been reviewed. An analysis of the conditions diagnosed in 464 sheep of all ages over a 6-year period on the University of Ghana Agricultural Research Station, Nungua, has shown that most deaths (67%) occurred in the 1-6 months age group and that pneumonia, followed by tapeworms and parasitic gastroenteritis, were the main conditions diagnosed. Streptothricosis and demodicosis were observed infecting sheep in the Accra plains.
