The presence of Clostridium perfringens Type E iota toxin was confirmed from the cecal contents of 23 of 46 rabbits which died of enteritis complex. The most consistent lesions observed were hemorrhage and edema in the cecum. Rabbit toxicity tests showed the toxic cecal contents were lethal for young rabbits unless incubated with Clostridium perfringens Type E antiserum.
从死于肠炎综合征的46只兔子中的23只的盲肠内容物中证实存在产气荚膜梭菌E型埃塔毒素。观察到的最常见病变是盲肠出血和水肿。家兔毒性试验表明,有毒的盲肠内容物对幼兔具有致死性,除非与产气荚膜梭菌E型抗血清一起孵育。
