PCR-based molecular diagnosis of botulism (types C and D) outbreaks in aquatic birds

2018-12-01

Abstract excerpt

Clostridium botulinum is a strictly anaerobic spore forming bacterium found in soil and sediments, producing botulinum neurotoxins. Group III strains of this organism are only able to produce neurotoxin types C, mosaic C/D, D/C, and D, which are associated with bird botulism. The threats and outbreak cycle of bird botulism are enhanced in the aquatic environment via a food web-environment-avian interface in respon...
