This work synthetises data concerning the aetiology of different forms of dairy ewe clinical mastitis. Results were collected in all French dairy sheep areas from 1991 to 2005 and originated from epidemiological survey, field veterinary laboratories diagnosis and Veterinary School epidemiological and bacteriological investigations. A total of 1,615 specimen from 335 flocks were submitted to conventional bacteriological examination. The average incidence of acute mastitis was 3.1% of ewes per lactation in flocks exhibiting sporadic cases (stratified-random sample). Overall negative results were obtained in 7.7 to 19.5% of specimens. The most common isolates for acute clinical mastitis were, according to the data source and the lactation stage: S. aureus (49-62%), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (13.7-18%), Streptococcaceae (6.3-7.6%), M. haemolytica (2.8-7.5%), Enterobacteria (2.8-7.3%) and other pathogens (3.4-9.1%). In case of clinical chronic mastitis, coagulase-negative Staphylococci were the most prevalent organisms (38%). The overall frequency of non-environmental bacteria was 75 to 85% of cases. During the suckling period of lactation, M. haemolytica mastitis appeared to be more frequent in certain flocks and certain area. Detailed bacteriological investigations were performed for 27 specific outbreaks due to S. suis (or S. ovis), S. uberis, M. haemolytica, A. fumigatus and P. aeruginosa. The two latter ones may be responsible for epizootic mastitis with mortality, mainly in the peri-partum period, in flocks performing drying-off intrammamary antibiotherapy in contaminated environment without the necessary hygienic and atraumatic precautions.
