Salmonella also spreads through contact with infected animals, especially poultry, swine, cattle, rodents, and pets such as reptiles, chicks, ducklings, terrapins, dogs and cats. Outbreaks of salmonella are usually traced to foods such as commercially processed meat products, inadequately cooked poultry and poultry products, uncooked or lightly cooked foods containing eggs and egg products, unpasteurized milk and dairy products, and foods contaminated with feces of an infected foodhandler. Salmonella contamination has been identified in food that was processed or prepared with contaminated cooking utensils or on contaminated cutting boards or counter tops.

Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Salmonellosis What is Salmonellosis? Salmonellosis is an illness caused by infection with Salmonella bacteria. It is primarily an intestinal infection, but in a small number of cases, it can infect the bloodstream and cause focal infections, such as abscesses and meningitis, in nearly any part of the body. Salmonella bacteria are subdivided into serotypes based upon their biochemical properties. In the United States, Salmonella Typhimurium and Salmonella enteritidis are the most common. Although salmonellosis can occur throughout the year, most cases occur during the summer months. Salmonella typhi is the serotype which causes Typhoid fever. This illness is different from that caused by the other serotypes of Salmonella, and is described separately (see Typhoid Fever). Who gets Salmonellosis? Anyone can get salmonellosis. Severe cases of illness requiring hospitalization are more often seen in infants, the elderly, and individuals with impaired immune systems. How is Salmonellosis spread?

Back SALMONELLOSIS Note for Pet Owners: This information is provided by Provet for educational purposes only. You should seek the advice of your veterinarian if your pet is ill as only he or she can correctly advise on the diagnosis and recommend the treatment that is most appropriate for your pet. Salmonella can be transmitted to humans, and so this disease is a zoonosis. Proper hygienic precautions should be taken after contact with animals which could be carrying the disease, especially children and people with impaired immune function. For practical purposes this means all pets and domestic livestock as well as wild animals. Topics on this Page: Description Cause Breed Occurrence Signs ... Prognosis Description Salmonella poisoning (or salmonellosis) is one of the commonest forms of zoonosis with infection being transmitted directly or indirectly from animals to humans, or from infected food products (meat, eggs, dairy products) to humans. Salmonellosis occurs in most countries and affects all animal species. Cause Th e cause of Salmonellosis are gram-negative, motile bacteria called Salmonella which are part of the family Enterobacteriaceae, and are usually found in the intestinal tract. These bacteria infect many species of animal including amphibians, birds, mammals (including humans), insects and reptiles. In addition, the organism can survive in the environment so in-contact objects, bedding etc can carry them. However, the commercial heat-processing of foods kills the organism.

Skip Navigation Michigan.gov Home DNR Home Links ... Research Projects Salmonellosis RELATED LINK Salmonellosis in Michigan Songbirds Description Salmonellosis is a bacterial disease caused by members of the genus Salmonella. This genus consists of over 1,100 species of antigenically related bacterial organisms which are gram negative, rod-shaped, 0.4 to 0.6 microns wide and 1 to 3 microns long. They do not form spores and are usually motile. Salmonellae have a wide variety of carrier hosts ranging from humans and domestic animals to wild birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and fish. Some of the common diseases caused by the genus Salmonella include fowl typhoid ( Salmonella gallinarum ), pullorum disease ( S. pullorum ), mouse typhoid ( S. typhimurium ) and paratyphoid fever ( Salmonella spp.). The following discussion will be limited to salmonellosis in wild birds. S. typhimurium , the most ubiquitous and common of all salmonellae, is the most common species isolated in wild birds. Distribution Salmonellosis is seen in many species throughout the world. In North America it has been reported in house sparrows from Ontario and Saskatchewan, in evening grosbeaks from West Virginia, in pine siskins from Maryland, in a robin from South Carolina and in brown-headed cowbirds, white-throated sparrows and herring gulls in Massachusetts. In Michigan it has been isolated from dark-eyed juncos, house sparrows, evening grosbeaks, pine siskins, cardinals, common grackles, ring-billed gulls, herring gulls, mallards, great blue herons, tree sparrows, American goldfinches and bald eagles. Since 1970 when salmonellosis was first diagnosed in Michigan, die-off during the winter in house sparrows around bird feeders is common. For reasons unknown, the winter of 1979-80 produced three times the normal number of outbreaks. There have been two large die-offs in herring gulls in the Sault Ste. Marie vicinity, one occurring in 1970 and the other in 1977.

News FAQs Emu health Salmonellosis (paratyphoid) Simon Bewg, DPI. Salmonellosis can be caused by any one of the salmonella group of bacteria. There are a large number of salmonella species spread widely throughout the environment. Two individual salmonella species S. pullorum and S. gallinarum cause pullorum disease ( S. pullorum ) and fowl typhoid ( S. gallinarum ) in poultry. In the past these two diseases have caused significant problems, and both diseases are now very well controlled in the poultry industry. However, these diseases may still exist in backyard poultry. It would appear that there is little risk of emus being exposed to these two types of salmonella. Of more significance to the emu industry are the large number of remaining salmonella species that are capable of infecting a wide range of hosts including man. Infection and disease caused by these salmonella is given the general term paratyphoid. Distribution and transmission Paratyphoid occurs worldwide.
