Abstract
Yersinia pseudotuberculosis has been isolated from a wide range of animal species, both wild and domestic, but few references to turkeys can be found in literature. The first report of the disease in turkeys in the United States came from Rosenwald and Dickinson (9), who isolated the organism from 10 turkey flocks in Oregon in 1940-1941. In 1946, Blaxland (3) described outbreaks on eight turkey ranches in England, and in 1954, Mathey and Siddle (8) isolated the organism from a turkey in California. Kilian et al. (7) reported an isolation from a turkey hen in Oregon in 1954. In 1972, Wise and Uppal (11) described an outbreak of Y. pseudotuberculosis-induced osteomyelitis in turkey farms in England. The present report describes outbreaks of Y. pseudotuberculosis-induced septicemia and osteomyelitis in California turkey ranches.
