Enterotoxaemia, a disease that affects domestic ruminants, is caused by the epsilon toxin of Clostridium perfringens type D and B. Control and prophylaxis are based on systemic vaccination of small ruminant herds with epsilon toxoid.

Distribution of labeled Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin in mice
Toxicon, 1991The in vivo distribution of labeled Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin after i.v. administration to mice was investigated. High amounts of radioactivity were found in the kidneys and the brain, and small amounts were in the heart, lungs, liver and stomach.

Protein Expression and Purification
Epsilon toxin (ETX) is the most potent clostridial toxin after tetanus and botulinum neurotoxins. ETX belongs to the heptameric β-pore-forming proteins produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D, which cause fatal enterotoxemia and significant ...

Clostridium perfringens Epsilon Toxin: Structural and Mechanistic Insights
2016Epsilon toxin (ETX) is produced by strains of Clostridium perfringens classified as type B or D. ETX belongs to the heptameric β-pore-forming toxins including Aeromonas aerolysin and Clostridium septicum alpha toxin, which are characterized by the formation of a pore through the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells and containing a β-barrel composed of ...

Microbial Pathogenesis, 2021
Epsilon toxin (Etx) is an enormously potent pore-forming toxin and a category B biological agent. Etx is the main virulence determinant of Clostridiumperfringens types B and D toxin. It has a cytotoxic effect on distal and collecting kidney tubules. Also,

BACKGROUND Clostridium perfringens type B and D strains produce epsilon toxin (ETX), which can lead to enterotoxemia, an extremely lethal disease that has significant consequences for the farming of domestic ruminants, specifically sheep and goats.

Vaccines against the category B toxins: Staphylococcal enterotoxin B, epsilon toxin and ricin
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2005The threat of bioterrorism worldwide has accelerated the demand for the development of therapies and vaccines against the Category B toxins: staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), epsilon toxin (ETX) produced by Clostridium perfringens types B and D, and ricin, a natural product of the castor bean.

Molecular basis of toxicity ofClostridium perfringensepsilon toxin
The FEBS Journal, 2011Clostridium perfringensε‐toxin is produced by toxinotypes B and D strains. The toxin is the aetiological agent of dysentery in newborn lambs but is also associated with enteritis and enterotoxaemia in goats, calves and foals. It is considered to be a potential biowarfare or bioterrorism agent by the US Government Centers for Disease Control and ...

Naturally acquired antibodies against Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin in goats
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2008Clostridium perfringens type D-producing epsilon toxin is a common cause of death in sheep and goats worldwide. Although anti-epsilon toxin serum antibodies have been detected in healthy non-vaccinated sheep, the information regarding naturally acquired antibodies in ruminants is scanty.
