LAGOS HORSE SICKNESS.
37. Immediately on my arrival in Lagos on the 4th June, 1907, my attention was called to this disease by European horse-owners in Lagos. From the 4th to the 15th June I had the opportunity of making naked-eye examinations of four animals, of which one recovered from the disease, one was destroyed, and two died. At the period indicated there was no opportunity for making microscopical examinations. I learned that the staple food of horses in Lagos is guinea corn, and from what I saw I suspected guinea corn to have some connection with the disease. It would appear that this corn belongs to the same class of grain as the Kaffir corn of South Africa, From what I know the Kaffir corn to be capable of producing and is a sort of millet. in horses when eaten unripe in South Africa, it seems to me quite possible that the Lagos horse sickness may similarly be produced by the animals being fed upon guinea corn. For the purpose of testing this in a rough way the idea was mentioned to one or two horse owners, to whom was suggested the advisability of discontinuing the use of guinea corn by way of experiment. On my return about six months later, it was found that only one horse owner had considered it worth his while to carry out my suggestions, and the results of the experiment were, to say the least, gratifying. Certain fairly extensive experiments were carried out with the guinea corn itself, by infusion, &c., and staining in various ways, but so far no form of bacteria has been discovered which could be actually credited with producing the disease. During my six months' tour in the Central Province only one case of Lagos horse sickness was met with. The symptoms in this case were fairly mild compared with those observed in Lagos, and the animal did not get down at all.
38. On returning to Lagos three more cases were brought to notice between December, 1907, and January, 1908, all the animals belonging to Europeans. About this time a notice was inserted in the Government Gazette with a view to getting sick animals brought to me for examination, but notwithstanding this I have reason to know that more cases of this particular disease might have been investi- gated had the owners of animals, Europeans as well as natives, chosen to bring them No horse suffering from the malady was forward, which in many cases they did not.
This may perhaps be accounted for ever produced for inspection by a native owner.
