Salmonella and Arizona from snakes in the Judean desert (1974-1975)
Abstract
Ninety-four (77.7%) of the 121 snakes captured during the years 1974-1975 in the Judean desert were found to carry Salmonella and/or Arizona organism. Sixty-six snakes (54.4%) harboured only one serotype. From 19 animals (15.7%) both Salmonella and Arizona organisms were isolated. From 9 snakes (7.5%) 2 or 3 serotypes of Arizona were isolated. Only 27 snakes (22,3%) harboured no detectable Salmonella nor Arizona in their intestinal contents.
