Structural insights into Clostridium perfringens delta toxin pore formation [PDF]
Clostridium perfringens Delta toxin is one of the three hemolysin-like proteins produced by C. perfringens type C and possibly type B strains. One of the others, NetB, has been shown to be the major cause of Avian Nectrotic Enteritis, which following the

Virulence Plasmid Diversity inClostridium perfringensType D Isolates [PDF]
ABSTRACTClostridium perfringenstype D isolates are important in biodefense and also cause natural enterotoxemias in sheep, goats, and occasionally cattle. In these isolates, the gene (etx) encoding ε-toxin is thought to reside on poorly characterized large plasmids.

Toxin typing of Clostridium perfringens Associated with Enterotoxaemia in Sheep in Fars Province [PDF]
Clostridium perfringens is implicated in the etiology of some diseases including fatal enterotoxaemia. Determining dominant toxin types of this microorganism can be helpful in epidemiologic surveys and the formulation of more proper vaccines.

Anti-idiotypic antibody-induced protection against Clostridium perfringens type D [PDF]
A monoclonal antibody (BALB/c mouse) with specificity for a neutralizing epitope on the epsilon-toxin produced by Clostridium perfringens type D was used to raise anti-idiotypic antibodies (anti-Id) in different strains of mice and rabbits. These were purified and used in cross-immunization studies to induce anti-(anti-idiotype).
