1899 E. V. Wilcox in Bull. Montana Agric. Exper. Stat. No. 22. 39 The symptoms have become so well known and are so constant and uniform that the disease caused by the lupine poisoning has been called lupinosis.

1905 G. Moussu & J. A. Dollar Dis. Cattle ii. vii. 242 The symptoms of lupine poisoning are so well known in Europe that chronic lupine poisoning has been given the name lupinosis.

1928 W. C. Miller Black's Vet. Dict. 571/2 In Europe, by far the greater number of cases [of poisoning by lupines] are of a chronic type, which results in the production of a train of symptoms to which the name ‘lupinosis’ has been given.

1943 N.Z. Jrnl. Agric. 67 83/3 There was considerable swelling about the head, and the skin came off the ears and the nose and also along the top of the head. These symptoms are identical with those described as occasionally occurring in cases of lupinosis.

1961 Jrnl. Austral. Inst. Agric. Sci. 27 62/1 In 1880, 14,138 of a total number of 240,000 sheep in one district in Pomerania died of lupinosis.

1966 Brit. Vet. Jrnl. 122 508 Lupinosis of sheep was shown to be due to the grazing of dead standing lupin roughage which had been exposed to rain after drying off in the spring.

1967 Adv. Veterinary Sci. XI. 86 Two distinct forms of injury are recognized in animals ingesting one or more of the several parts of lupines. The first of these is due to the pharmacologic activity of the bitter principle (a variable mixture of alkaloids) and has become variably known as lupine poisoning, alkaloidal poisoning, American lupinosis, or lupine madness. The second is an icteric disease caused by a hepatotoxin which was designated..as ‘ictrogen’... The disease was called ‘lupinosis’, or sometimes more specifically, ‘European lupinosis’.

1972 Mycologia 64 316 Typical signs of lupinosis were produced experimentally in Merino ewes fed either naturally infected lupines or pure cultures of the fungus [sc. Phomopsis leptostromiformis] on autoclaved white lupine seeds.
