YERSINAE ISOLATED FROM WAPITI (Cervus canadensis roosevelti)
1 School of Natural Resources, Humboldt State University, Arcata, California 95521, USA
Yersinia enterocolitica and Yersinia enterocolitica-like bacteria were isolated from 22 of 90 fecal samples taken from five herds of wapiti studied in northwestern California. The serotypes included: (5), (6), (11), (16), (2,19), (4,16) and (6,15). In one herd, all of the organisms were isolated from within a one hectare area. A significantly higher (p < .02) prevalence of isolations was obtained during April and May.
