“…In contrast, only the tonsils were efficiently colonized by O:8 in some of the infected minipigs. These results are in agreement with previous observations in surveys that reported that mainly serotype O:3 strains were isolated from the oral cavity, intestinal tract, and feces of pigs (21,38,39). Young pigs generally get infected within the first 3 weeks after entering contaminated areas (e.g., pens) or by other infected pigs, and they remain intestinal and pharyngeal carriers for long time periods (38).…”

“…An increase in the prevalence in feces up until 16 weeks of age of the pigs was noted, which was followed by a decrease over time until the end of the follow-up. This pattern is in agreement with previous studies (11,14,25). Despite the low fecal prevalence at the end of the period, most of the sampled pigs were seropositive at the time of slaughter.…”

SEURI M, GRANFORS K. Ant ibod ies against Yersinia among farmer s and slaughterhouse workers . Scand J Work Environ Health 1992;18:128-132. Antibodies to immuno globulins (Ig) M, G, and A against Yersinia enterocolitica serotypes 0:3 , 0:5, 0:8, and 0 :9 and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis serotype s I and III were analyzed by enzyme immunoassay of the serum samples of 161 slaughterhouse workers, 147 pig farmer s, and 114 grain or berry farmer s. The crude risk ratio s for elevated serum antibody concentrations were calculated with the use of the grain and berr y farmers as the reference population. The risk for an elevated Yenterocolitica 0 :3 Ig G concentration was 3.0 (95070 confidence interval (95070 CI) 1.3-7.1) for the pig farmers and 1.8 (95070 CI 0.7-4.4) for the slaughterhouse workers and the respective risks for elevated Yenterocolitica 0:9 Ig G were 2.4 (95070 CI 1.1-5.5) and 1.7 (95070 CI 0.7-4.0) . Since these two serotypes are commonly associated with swine, the increased number of subjects with elevated antibody levels could be causally related to occupational contact with this animal.
