Chronic Botulism in Humans: A Case Series [PDF]
Clinical Case ReportsThis study presents novel clinical presentations of botulism, observed in both patients and goats from the same farm. Their symptoms appeared at the same time, suggesting a possible relation to animal visceral botulism.

Adult Botulism of Unknown Source with Post-Toxin Anti-GQ1b Antibodies: Implications for Molecular Mimicry—A Case Report [PDF]
Neurology InternationalBackground: Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal neuroparalytic illness caused by Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs). While adult cases usually result from foodborne exposure or wound infection, intestinal colonization is exceedingly uncommon.

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
, 2015 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Foodborne Botulism Outbreaks in the United States, 2001–2017
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Foodborne botulism is an intoxication caused by ingestion of food containing botulinum neurotoxin. Cases of foodborne botulism are usually sporadic (single, unrelated) but outbreaks of two or more cases occur.
