Mouldy feed, mycotoxins and Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli colonisation associated with Jejunal Hemorrhage Syndrome (JHS) in beef cattle producing Escherichia coli (STECs) cause serious human disease outbreaks through the consumption of contaminated foods. Cattle are considered the main reservoir but it is unclear how STECs affect mature animals.
Neonatal calves are the susceptible age class for STEC infections causing severe enteritis. In an earlier study, we determined that mycotoxins and STECs were part of the disease complex for dairy cattle with Jejunal Hemorrhage Syndrome (JHS). For STECs to play a role in the development of JHS, the researchers hypothesised that STEC colonisation should also be evident in beef cattle with JHS. Read more ...
