“…Thomas (1957) described another outbreak in which the causative organism proved to be a paracolon bacillus intermediate between the Salmonella and Arizona groups. There has been only little mention of Arizona strains isolated from similar sources (Dimow, 1965a, b;Dimow & Rohde, 1965). Rosenstein et al (1965) isolated an Arizona from the turtle water taken from the retail store during their investigation.…”

SUMMARYTwo isolations of Arizona from humans were made in Sheffield in 1966. The first was from a 3-year-old girl with a history of gastro-enteritis; the second was from her 5-year-old brother who was a symptomless excretor. Infection was traced to pet terrapins recently purchased from a local pet shop. The relative epidemiological significance of Arizona infection and the potential hazard of pet terrapins has been reviewed.We wish to thank Dr V. G. S. Damms for his help and co-operation and for allowing us to publish details of his patients, Dr J. G. Wallace for his work on the preliminary identification of the organism, and Dr Joan Taylor and Dr E. H. Gillespie for their helpful advice and criticism.

“…A study in Bulgaria showed that 10.5 per cent of 691 wild tortoises were excreting Salmonella enterica subspecies Arizona. 9 The current advice given to owners is to assume that a tortoise is a carrier of Salmonella until proven otherwise. 10 In human beings, salmonellosis presents as gastroenteritis, commonly causing diarrhoea, stomach cramps and sometimes vomiting and fever.…”

“…In Croatia, Lukac and others 7 found that 13 per cent of captive reptiles were positive, but only 3.8 per cent of the chelonians were positive and in Italy, Ebani and others 8 found that 29.9 per cent of 305 reptiles carried Salmonella : 14 of these were chelonian and 19.8 per cent of these were positive.
