Abstract

An outbreak of necrotic enteritis caused by Clostridium perfringens type C was diagnosed in captive collared (Pecari tajacu) and white-lipped (Tayassu pecari) peccaries housed in the Laboratory of Applied Ethology of Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz located in Ilhéus, State of Bahia, Brazil. Four collared peccaries and three white-lipped peccaries, all juveniles (25-105 days old), were affected. For all affected animals, lethargy and inappetance were followed by sudden death within 24 hours. Histopathology of intestinal wall, culture of C. perfringens type C, and the identification of beta-toxin from intestinal content confirmed the diagnosis.

摘要

在巴西巴伊亚州伊列乌斯市圣克鲁斯州立大学应用动物行为学实验室饲养的圈养领西貒（Pecari tajacu）和白唇西貒（Tayassu pecari）中，诊断出由C型产气荚膜梭菌引起的坏死性肠炎疫情。四只领西貒和三只白唇西貒均为幼崽（25 - 105日龄），受到了影响。所有受影响的动物先是出现嗜睡和食欲不振，随后在24小时内突然死亡。肠道壁的组织病理学检查、C型产气荚膜梭菌培养以及从肠道内容物中鉴定β毒素，均证实了诊断结果。
