Yersinia species isolated from sheep with enterocolitis

Abstract: In 40 submissions to the Regional Veterinary Laboratory (RVL) Wagga Wagga from sheep in southern New South Wales from 1981 to 1989, 53 isolates of Yersinia sp were recovered from 45 sheep in 37 flocks. Of 53 isolates, 26 were identified as Y. pseudotuberculosis, 20 as Y. enterocolitica, 5 as Y. intermedia and 2 as Y. frederiksenii. Twelve isolates of Y. pseudotuberculosis tested in the slide agglutination test all belonged to serotype III. The 20 Y. enterocolitica isolates were categorised biochemically as bio… Show more

“…Yersiniosis takes a variety of clinicopathological forms: fulminant, subacute and chronic. Fulminant Yersinia infection causes fibrinous or fibrinonecrotic enteritis [1,8,20], the subacute infection produces microabscesses in the intestinal mucosa, and the chronic infection is accompanied by villous atrophy and intestinal glandular hyperplasia [13]. The present intestinal lesions seem to have the characteristics of subacute to chronic infections.…”

“…Although the exact origin of the present infection remains unknown, there might have been indirect contacts between the goats and cows in the dairy-producing area via feral birds or other animals. Alternatively, reservoirs maintaining infection might have been present in the caprine herd, as pointed out previously [13,15]. Further investigations on the origin of the infection should be performed for the purpose of prophylaxis of the disease.…”
