Catarrh or influenza in sheep occupies a unique position in livestock diseases in Australia. The condition, recognised in 1834, was the subject of government enquiries and the passing of special legislation for its control. Within 30 years it had disappeared. The identity of the condition was not determined then nor has it been identified in subsequent years. The purpose of the article is to review what was recorded about the disorder and to speculate on its nature.
