Enterotoxaemia, caused by Clostridium perfringens toxins, is one of the most prevalent clostridial diseases in ruminants. The diagnosis is typically based on the detection of C.

Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin (Etx) is a pore forming toxin that causes enterotoxaemia in ruminants and may be a cause of multiple sclerosis in humans. To date, most in vitro studies of Etx have used the Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cell line.

Evaluation of plant-produced Clostridium perfringens type D epsilon toxoid in a vaccine against enterotoxaemia in sheep [PDF]
Enterotoxaemia (pulpy kidney) is a common bacterial disease of sheep caused by Clostridium perfringens type D epsilon toxin. It has mortality rates of up to 30% in non-vaccinated animals.

Abstract Background Inadequate ewe nutrition is an important driver for neonatal lamb losses, although the association of ewe metabolic status with lamb passive transfer status is poorly understood. This study investigates the relationship between ewe metabolic status, neonatal lamb losses, failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPTI) and lamb growth.

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).

The aims of this study were to describe 42 cases of Clostridium perfringens type-D enterotoxaemia in cattle seen between 2003 and 2014 and to determine the diagnostic value of detecting epsilon toxin in bovine intestinal content.

Background The level and cause of ewe mortality over the peri‐parturient period is poorly understood in Australia. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of peri‐parturient ewe mortality and investigate the causes of death in commercial, non‐Merino ewes over the peri‐parturient period.

EFFICACY OF FREEZE-DRIED INACTIVATED VACCINE AGAINST RABBIT ENTEROTOXAEMIA [PDF]
Clostridium (C.) perfringens type A is a leading cause of enterotoxemia in rabbits, significantly affecting outcomes in rabbit farming. It results in a high mortality rate, particularly in weaned rabbits.

Assessment of genetically modified maize MON 95275 (application GMFF‐2022‐5890)
Abstract Genetically modified maize MON 95275 was developed to confer protection to certain coleopteran species. These properties were achieved by introducing the mpp75Aa1.1, vpb4Da2 and DvSnf7 expression cassettes. The molecular characterisation data and bioinformatic analyses reveal similarity to known toxins, which was further assessed.

Emerging insights into macrophage extracellular traps in bacterial infections
Macrophage extracellular traps (METs) are represent an intriguing defense mechanism within the immune system. These structures consist of cellular DNA, histones, and various proteins, which serve to entrap and kill pathogens, preventing their dissemination.
