Therefore, in this study, we report for the first time the pathophysiology of a visceral form of blackleg infection in indigenous cholistani cattle breed reared in desert conditions of Cholistan. Clinically morbid animals exhibited different signs of infection including fever, crepitation sounds, ...
Clostridium chauvoei is the etiologic agent of blackleg in cattle, inducing fever, severe myonecrosis, oedemic lesions and ultimately death of infected animals. The pathogen often results in such rapid death that antibiotic therapy is futile and thus vaccination is the only efficient strategy in or...

True blackleg is caused by Clostridium chauvoei—a gram-positive spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium--and characterized by acute inflammation of the muscles, severe toxemia and sudden death. True blackleg is common only in cattle, but infection induced by trauma occurs occasionally in other animals...
Blackleg is a bacterial disease that primarily affects cattle but can also affect other cloven-hoofed animals such as sheep and goats. It is caused by the spore-forming bacterium Clostridium chauvoei and is prevalent in many parts of the world, including Brazil. Vaccination is one of the most...
