In the retrospective study of soil-borne diseases of cattle in Zambia, malignant edema and blackquarter were widespread. One hundred and sixty-five cases with malignant edema and 103 cases with blackquarter were reported between 1985 and 1997. It was found that specific soil-conditions associate the emergence of the soil-borne diseases. Soil samples from five areas in Zambia were examined for the presence of genus Clostridium. Direct immunofluorescent assay (IFA) examination showed that C. septicum, C. novyi and C. chauvoei were detected in the soil of specific areas in Zambia, respectively. Causal organisms such as C. perfringens were isolated from the soil samples. The information of area-specific distribution of Clositridium species may give an efficient program in protecting cattle and man.
在赞比亚牛土传疾病的回顾性研究中，恶性水肿和黑腿病广泛存在。1985年至1997年间报告了165例恶性水肿病例和103例黑腿病病例。研究发现，特定的土壤条件与这些土传疾病的发生有关。对赞比亚五个地区的土壤样本进行了梭菌属检测。直接免疫荧光分析（IFA）检测表明，在赞比亚特定地区的土壤中分别检测到了败血梭菌、诺维氏梭菌和产气荚膜梭菌。从土壤样本中分离出了诸如产气荚膜梭菌等病原体。梭菌种类的区域特异性分布信息可能为保护牛和人类提供一个有效的方案。
