	abstract = {Pleurisy is the result of an inflammation of the pleura producing fibrous adhesions between the lung and chest wall. In New Zealand (NZ) sheep, it has a substantial impact in terms of lost revenue, animal health and welfare, and in 2006 its cost was estimated at NZ$25.1 million (95\% CI=NZ$10.2{\textendash}48.1; Goodwin-Ray et al. 2008). Little is known about how to diagnose the disease prior to slaughter, although a NZ sheep industry report (Goodwin-Ray 2006) describes a {\textquotedblleft}pneumonia-pleurisy complex{\textquotedblright}, based on the findings of McGowan et al. (1978), Davies (1985) and Pfeffer (1986). Goodwin-Ray (2006) concludes that this complex has a poorly defined aetiology, likely reflecting the observation by McGowan et al. (1978) that some, but not all lambs with enzootic pneumonia, went on to develop pleurisy. In effect there is no evidence of an absolute link between pneumonia and pleurisy},
