Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies were conducted to source track and delineate horizontal transmission pathways of Salmonella serovars in a turkey production environment. Salmonella enterica serovar Heidelberg (n = 111), Salmonella Senftenberg (n = 14), Salmonella Muenster (n = 10), unidentifiable "roughs" (n = 5), Salmonella Anatum (n = 3), and Salmonella Worthington (n = 2) were isolated from the birds' cecal and crop...
