The Frequency Of Salmonellae In Wild Ducks Free

Abstract

SUMMARY

The faecal excretion rate of salmonellae in migratory wild ducks is higher than previous studies would indicate. Examination of 477 duck droppings during the winters of 1968/69 and 1969/70 gave isolation rates of just over 4 per cent. The commonest serotype was ; seven different phage-types were found, 2a being the most frequent.
