“…In the veterinary literature, listeriosis most commonly has been described in ruminants, and manifests itself as 3 classical syndromes: meningioencephalitis, abortion and still birth, and septicemia . In addition, there have been isolated reports of Lm infection of cattle and sheep resulting in enteritis and lymphadenitis of the mesenteric lymph nodes associated with the ingestion of Lm contaminated feed . Listeriosis is a rare disease in cats .…”

Background Listeriosis is a rare disease in cats with naturally occurring cases usually being identified in individual animals. Listerial mesenteric lymphadenitis has not been described previously in cats. Objectives To describe the clinical and histological features of listerial mesenteric lymphadenitis in cats as well as treatment outcome. Animals Listerial mesenteric lymphadenitis was confirmed in 3 cats by histology, immunohistochemistry, and bacterial culture. Results The affected cats were young to middle aged and were examined for various clinical signs. On both palpation and abdominal ultrasound examination, all cats had marked mesenteric lymphadenomegaly. Survival was prolonged in all 3 cases. Two of the 3 cats were fed a raw meat‐based diet before they developed clinical illness. Conclusions and Clinical Importance Lymphadenitis caused by listeriosis has a protracted time course and should be a differential diagnosis for abdominal lymphadenopathy in young to middle‐aged cats. Feeding of a raw meat‐based diet may be a contributing factor for development of listeriosis in cats.

“…En bovinos, existen diferentes presentaciones clínicas causadas por L. monocytogenes: (A) septicémica con abscesos en vísceras como hígado, bazo y linfonódulos, (B) abortos, (C) encefalitis, (D) queratoconjuntivitis y uveítis, (E) mastitis 5,11,12,20,23,25,28 . La forma septicémica suele afectar a animales recién nacidos y la forma nerviosa es más común en bovinos y ovinos adultos 3,16,20,23 .…”

Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de casos de listeriosis bovina ocurridos en diferentes partidos de Provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina). Se utilizaron las técnicas diagnósticas de histopatología, bacteriología e inmunohistoquímica. De 17 casos confirmados por esta última técnica, en 7 de ellos se dispuso de material para el cultivo bacteriológico y solo en 3 casos se pudo aislar Listeria monocytogenes. El 64,7% de los casos de listeriosis se presentaron en rodeos que consumían ensilado de maíz. La enfermedad se diagnosticó con mayor frecuencia en sistemas de producción intensivos (feedlot y tambos). Cuatro casos negativos al cultivo de L. monocytogenes se lograron confirmar por inmunohistoquímica, por lo cual esta técnica se revela valiosa dado que su empleo mejora la eficiencia diagnóstica de los casos de listeriosis bovina.

“…The so-called exposition keratitis is interpreted as a result of cranial nerve paresis and cannot be attributed to the infection itself. Special manifestations like listerial gastroenteritis and granulomatoussuppurative lymphadenitis have also been described (Fairley et al 2012;Otter et al 2004;Thompson et al 2009). …”

In contrast to most pathogenic bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes is psychrotrophic, capable of multiplying at low temperatures. In an era when food production and food storage heavily rely on refrigeration, this ability to grow (albeit slowly) in a cold environment has opened a new ecological niche for L. monocytogenes. Because of the severity of certain clinical manifestations (infections of the central nervous system, septicemia, and abortion), the high case-fatality rate (up to 30 % of cases), and the long incubation time, human listeriosis is now a zoonosis of major public health concern. L. monocytogenes causes invasive illness mainly in certain well-defined high-risk groups, including immunocompromised persons, pregnant women, neonates, and the elderly. However, listeriosis can occur in otherwise healthy individuals, particularly during an outbreak. The evolvement of silage as a dominant feed for ruminants constitutes another key factor, responsible for the emergence of listeriosis as a relevant animal disease. L. monocytogenes has been isolated from numerous species of mammals, birds, fish, crustaceans, and insects. Nevertheless, the primary habitats of L. monocytogenes are considered to be the soil and decaying vegetable matter, in which it survives and grows saprophytically.
