Abstract
WHEREAS abortion in cattle associated with Brucella or Vibrio infection is very common, it can, in some rare cases, also be caused by Salmonella species. The Salmonella strain most frequently held responsible for bovine abortion is Salmonella dublin; this strain has already been found in the Belgian Congo in a bovine fœtus. Salmonella infantis, a world-wide Salmonella type, which has already been isolated from man and several animal species, has not yet been recorded, so far as we can ascertain, as causing bovine abortion.
