Erysipelas in quails (Coturnix Coturnix Japonica)
Abstract
A case of erysipelas in Quails is reported for first time in Greece. At an enterprize of 30.000 Quails Coturnix coturnix japonica flock of 500 Quails was infected showing lesions of septicemia and a mortality of 40-50 birds per day. The organism isolated has the typical biochemical properties of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae but was late in production of H2S. Subcutaneus inoculation of Quails with 4 χ 105 and 106 organisms killed all the Quails (7) in 48-120 hours
