A widespread disease in sheep and goats, especially in young animals under a year old, is enterotoxemia, commonly referred to as "overeating disease" or pulpy kidney disease. The disease exists in per acute, acute, and chronic forms. Clostridium perfringens is the bacterium that causes the disease, and forms C and D are the most prevalent ones.

A review of clostridial toxins involved in enterotoxemia [PDF]
Introduction: Enterotoxemia is a acute and often fatal intestinal disease that affects domesticated animals such as livestock, horses, and pigs. This disease typically results in rapid animal death shortly after bacterial multiplication and toxin ...

NanI Sialidase Enhances the Action of Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin in the Presence of Mucus
Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is the main virulence factor for C. perfringens type F strains to cause human gastrointestinal diseases, which can involve lethal enterotoxemia.

Summary A 13‐month‐old, male Djungarian hamster (Phodopus sungorus) presented to our veterinary clinic with a 2‐day history of mild decreased appetite and reduced activity, and a prolapse from the anus. On physical examination, a 15‐mm intestinal prolapse was identified. Ultrasound suggested intussusception and revealed no additional lesions or foreign

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.

Typing of isolates of Clostridium perfringensfrom healthy and diseased sheep by multiplex PCR
In this study, C. perfringens strains isolated from healthy and diseased sheep were analysed by multiplex PCR in order to to detect the presence of the alpha, beta, epsilon, iota and enterotoxin genes. C.

Clostridium perfringens forms heat‐resistant spores that complicate food safety. Physical methods (thermal processing, HPP, vacuum cooling, ozone treatments) and chemical interventions (natural antimicrobials, phosphates, nitrate/nitrite, organic acids) reduce vegetative cells and spores, though spore resistance remains a major challenge in food and ...
