Abstract
It has become evident from our studies on salmonellosis in turkeys that animal reservoirs other than turkeys must account for some outbreaks that cannot be traced to turkey carriers. In a previous paper we (1944) reported the isolation of Salmonella meleagridis from a gopher snake caught on a ranch where severe mortality from this Salmonella type was being experienced. It is the purpose of this note to record the isolation of Salmonella typhimurium from a gopher snake, a garter snake, 2 cats, and house flies—all caught on 2 infected turkey ranches.On one ranch an unexplained outbreak of S. typhimurium infection caused severe mortality in a brood of young poults that were hatched from eggs laid by breeders that were negative to both H and O types of S. typhimurium agglutination tests at the beginning of the 1944 hatching season. A retest of the flock after the outbreak occurred .
