The present work was conducted to investigate the clinical signs and pathological lesions of sheep botulism in River Nile at Al Butana area. Many outbreaks of botulism were detected in sheep in River Nile State. In 10406 sheep flocks, 879 were affected and 797 were died with morbidity rate 8.4% and mortality rate 7.6%. Mortality among infected sheep was 90.6%. The main symptoms were flaccid tetraparesis leading to tetraplegia that was often accompanied by twisted neck, tongue paralysis, continuous tail movement, and loss of appitite, profuse salivation, and nasal discharge and muscle tremors then complete recumbency occured. Ambulatory sheep had uncoordinated and swaying gaits with hypometria and weakness, mainly of the hind limbs. Then recumbent ambulatory sheep with twisted neck eventually died. The recumbent sheep were necropsied. The gross lesions were conestion in all organs, congestion and edema of lungs, pale and fatty liver, fragile muscles congested and inflamed intestine. Accumulation of gases in large intstines and enlarged lymph nodes were observed.
