Enterotoxaemia‐like syndrome and Clostridium perfringens in veal calves [PDF]
SEVERAL enteritis/enterotoxaemia syndromes in mammals and birds are the consequence of an uncontrolled overgrowth of Clostridium perfringens invading the small intestine from the caecum and the colon and producing different exotoxins.

Toxin-neutralizing antibodies protect against Clostridium perfringens challenge in an intestinal loop model for bovine enterotoxaemia [PDF]
Bovine enterotoxaemia caused by Clostridium perfringens type A most often presents as a sudden death syndrome with necro-hemorrhagic small intestinal lesions in suckling calves and veal calves (Muylaert et al., 2010).

Sudden death in a ewe due to Enterococcus hirae septicaemia
Abstract A 2‐year‐10‐month‐old ewe, found dead 10 days post‐lambing, was submitted for postmortem examination to the Royal Veterinary College. Significant gross findings included subcutaneous and pleural haemorrhages, cortical renal haemorrhages, hydropericardium and a mural haemorrhagic thrombus in the right ventricular wall.

Clostridium perfringens strains from bovine enterotoxemia cases are not superior in in vitro production of alpha toxin, perfringolysin O and proteolytic enzymes [PDF]
Background: Bovine enterotoxemia is a major cause of mortality in veal calves. Predominantly veal calves of beef cattle breeds are affected and losses due to enterotoxemia may account for up to 20% of total mortality.
