Pediatrics In Review, 1996
Infant botulism was first described in 1976. It is caused by Clostridium botulinum, a gram-positive anaerobic bacillus found most commonly in soil and agricultural products. The organism forms spores and during growth and germination releases a potent neurotoxin that is responsible for the illness.

Botulism has not traditionally been considered as occurring in infants under one year of age because they generally do not ingest foods potentially containing preformed Clostridium botulinum toxin. We report a case of infantile botulism in a 3 1/2 month old infant who presented as a "floppy baby," and discuss the probable pathobiology involved.

Abstract A 57-year-old woman with a fatal disease, presumably botulism, was treated intermittently with guanidine hydrochloride over a 20-day period. Guanidine was given because it enhances the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. During treatment, ptosis and extraocular palsies were relieved, strength in proximal muscles improved ...

Medical Hypotheses, 1986
Botulism is induced by botulinum toxin and the mechanism of the disease is unknown. In another study, a fatal autoimmune disease was produced in animals by immunization with a fraction of choline acetyltransferase. When these two syndromes are compared, numerous similarities are observed.

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 1984
Two cases of type A botulism in elderly patients are presented, followed by an overview of the disease. Typical features demonstrated by these patients included home food preservation, multiple cases, and early GI tract symptoms followed by diplopia, ptosis, generalized weakness, and respiratory impairment while sensation and deep tendon reflexes ...

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2001
Botulism should be considered in cases where weakness, paralysis, or intolerance to exercise might be seen in the horse. Dysphagia may also be present, although it is not a consistent finding. Potential sources include carrion in hay, moldy or otherwise rotted vegetation or forage, birds carrying material from animal burial or other similar sites, and ...
