Jejunal hemorrhage syndrome in a Zebu cow in Brazil

Jejunal hemorrhage syndrome in a Zebu cow in Brazil

Clostridium perfringenstype A has been incriminated as the etiologic agent in jejunal hemorrhage syndrome (JHS), which is a disease that affects dairy cattle. Although this microorganism is considered an important enteropathogen the pathogenesis of JHS is still not clear, and there have been no reports of its occurrence in Brazil so far. The aim of this study was to describe the occurrence of JHS by infection with a C. perfringenstype A strain carrying the beta-2 toxin gene in a zebu cow in Brazil, for the first time.
