1. An outbreak of skin lesions caused by pathogenic staphyloco cci on a herd of sheep (local) breed (Rahmani) was described. 2. The outbreak was first clinically mis-diagnosed as Pox or Contageous pustuler dermatitis but after considering clinical differential diagnosis and after carrying out bacteriolgical inves tigation the epidemic proved to be recurrent skin lesions caused by staphylococci, & 19 pathogenic strains of Satap < /em>hylococcus aureus were isolated from the lesions and milk of affected animals. 3.
