We analyze the anisotropies in the extragalactic infrared background and in the source counts in standard cosmology perturbed by large-scale, small-amplitude density fluctuations. The dipole anisotropy of the diffuse background is connected to the dipole of the cosmic background radiation and of the source counts, and a full consistency with a large (≃ 7%) anisotropy in the IRAS source counts is found to imply a low density (Ω0 ≃ 0.2) universe, contrary to a previous claim. We analyze also higher order harmonics. Using the IRAS Low-Resolution All-Sky Maps we obtain an upper limit of 0.17MJy/sr on the dipole of the 100 μm background and show that it is consistent with a source-count anisotropy of 7% only for a low intensity, I ≤ 1.2 M Jy/sr, of the background itself.
