toxin-types of clostridium perfringens strains isolated from sheep, cattle and paddock soils in nigeria.	two-hundred and forty-five strains of clostridium perfringens isolated from the faeces of apparently healthy sheep and cattle and from their environments (paddock soils) in kano and kaduna states of nigeria were studied. the isolates were examined by the toxin-antitoxin neutralisation tests performed intradermally in depilated albino guinea-pigs. one-hundred and twenty-seven (53.1%) of the isolates were type a, 17 (7.1%) were type b, 14 (4.9%) were type c, 44 (18.4%) were type d and 19 (7.9%) we ...	1986	2873674
animal feeds as likely vehicles of clostridial infections in livestock.	a total of sixteen samples were collected from various food items on seven farms in three states of nigeria. these samples yielded thirty one clostridial isolates which were identified as eleven species. the species most frequently isolated was clostridium perfringens representing 35.5% of the isolates. the next highest was c. bifermentans with a frequency of 22.6%. the other nine species identified were each isolated at frequencies less than 10%. no farm yielded all the species isolated. the fa ...	1985	2863738
