Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL)
by Gary Pfalzbot
About the Author
Caseous Lymphadenitis (CL), also known in some parts of the world as "cheesy gland", is a disease that affects a goats lymphatic system, most often characterized by an external abscess - lump. CL manifests itself either internally, externally, or both and is very contagious to all other goats as well as humans. The size of the abscess is largely dependent upon the immune system and overall health of the goat. An abscess that is allowed to rupture will contaminate the ground for many years and infect other goats that come into contact. Likewise, a goat with internal CL can cough out the bacteria and spread it to other goats as well. At the present time, there is not a vaccination that cures or prevents CL in goats. CL as well as CAE are two diseases that goat breeders try in earnest to keep out of their herd.
