Summary

A group of buffaloes aborted at the third trimester of their gestational period.Yersinia enterocolitica was isolated from all cases. All aborted animal sera had high antibody titres againstY. enterocolitica antigen which crossreacted significantly withBrucella abortus antigen. All animals were culturally negative after intrauterine infusion of gentamycin sulphate (160 mg/day) for three consecutive days.

Résumé

Un groupe de bufflesses a avorté pendant le troisième trimestre de leur période de gestation. Dans tous les cas, on a isoléYersina enterocolitica. Les sérums de tous les animaux avorteurs possédaient de hauts titres d’anticorps dirigés contre l’antigèneYersina enterocolitica, réagissant de manière significative avec l’antigèneBrucella abortus. Après injection intra-utérine de sulfate de gentamycin (160 mg/jour) pendant trois jours consécutifs, les cultures sont redevenues négatives chez tous les animaux.
