Mycotic Dermatitis (Lumpy Wool) And Fleece Rot Of Sheep, J Shilkin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Two similar but quite distinct diseases are recognised as having caused this condition.
They are mycotic dermatitis (lumpy wool) and fleece rot. Both conditions damage the fleece and render affected sheep susceptible to blowfly strike.
