Experimental Salmonella arizonae infection of sheep

Occurrence and characterisation of Salmonella enterica subspecies diarizonae serovar 61: k: 1, 5, (7) in sheep in the federal state of Thuringia, Germany

“…Despite signs of rhinitis, nasal inflammation or aborted foetuses which were noted occasionally in different studies [4, 10, 11], it cannot be ruled out that factors other than SA S d were involved in producing these clinical signs. This occasional occurrence of clinical symptoms is also supported by the observation that experimental infections of sheep with SA S d indeed resulted in intestinal or nasal colonisation but not in the induction of clinical signs of a disease [24, 25]. The lack of clinical symptoms in sheep flocks harbouring SA S d [6, 9] has been regularly observed.…”

“…The organisms may be carried for many months in the reproductive and intestinal tracts (Long and others 1978, Pritchard 1990). It may also act as a long‐term coloniser of the nasal cavities (Hannam and others 1986) where it may be associated with chronic proliferative rhinitis (Meehan and others 1992, Brogden and others 1994).…”

Chronic Proliferative Rhinitis associated with Salmonella enterica subspecies diarizonae serovar 61:k:1, 5, (7) in Sheep in Spain

“…However, in other studies S. arizonae has been associated with ovine abortion/stillbirth, alimentary tract disturbances (Long et al, 1978;Davies et al, 2001) and suppurative epididymitis (Ferreras et al, 2007). Nevertheless, isolates from faecal samples did not reproduce enteric disease in lambs (Harp et al, 1981) and oral administration to pregnant sheep did not induce any pathology (Hannan et al, 1986).…”
