Tetanus as Cause of Mass Die-off of Captive Japanese Macaques, Japan, 2008
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 In 2008 in Japan, 15/60 captive Japanese macaques died. Clostridium tetani was isolated from 1 monkey, and 11 had tetanus-specific symptoms. We conclude the outbreak resulted from severe environmental C. tetani contamination.

Structural and functional analysis of hypothetical and conserved proteins of Clostridium tetani
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2014 Summary: The progress in biological technologies has led to rapid accumulation of microbial genomic sequences with a vast number of uncharacterized genes. Proteins encoded by these genes are usually uncharacterized, hypothetical, and/or conserved.
