Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Toxicology
  • Epidemiology

Context:

  • Botulism outbreaks in cattle have been documented in the Netherlands since 1975.
  • Poultry litter containing toxic carcasses is a primary source of Clostridium botulinum toxin.
  • Recent years show an increase in type D botulism cases, complicating timely diagnosis.

Purpose:

  • To review the etiology, symptomatology, and epidemiology of botulism in cattle.
  • To discuss the challenges in diagnosing and managing botulism outbreaks.
  • To outline prevention, treatment, and public health considerations for bovine botulism.

Summary:

  • Outbreaks of botulism types C and D in Dutch cattle are frequently associated with contaminated poultry litter.
  • Type D botulism is increasingly reported, posing diagnostic difficulties as poultry are resistant to this toxin.
