Abstract
The main toxicoses caused by the presence of Neotyphodium endophytes in Australia and New Zealand occur in animals grazing perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) containing Neotyphodium lolii. Neotyphodium coenophialum is rarely present in tall fescue sown in pastures in Australia and New Zealand. In any case tall fescue pastures are less frequently sown than perennial ryegrass. Perennial ryegrass is the major pasture grass in New Zealand (about 7 million hectares) and is important in the high winter rainfall areas in Australia (about 6 million hectares).
