Occurrence of pathogenic<i>Yersinia enterocolitica</i>and<i>Yersinia pseudotuberculosis</i>in small wild rodents

Abstract excerpt

Rodents are a potential source of pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis. In order to study this, 190 rodents were captured and sampled on seven pig farms (n=110), five chicken farms (n=55) and six other locations (n=25) in Sweden.
