TI  - Enterotoxemia Caused by Clostridium perfringens Type E in a Calf
AB  - Clostridial enterotoxemia caused by Clostridium perfringens type E was diagnosed postmortem in a 2-months-old calf in a family farmcontaining 20 cattle at different ages. Varying degrees of severity of segmental fibrino-hemorrhagic and necrotic enteritis was present at thenecropsy. Clostridium perfringens was isolated from the intestinal tissue and intestinal content and the genes encoding alpha and iota toxinswere detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Histopathological examination showed the presence of adherent Gram-positive rods onthe surface of villi and in poly morphonuclear leucocytes in the lamina propria of the intestinal mucosa.Overall, the results of the presentstudy suggest that C. perfringens type E should be considered at differential diagnosis in fibrino-hemorrhagic enteritis and sudden deaths inpost weaned calves.
