Abstract

In the past four years there has been an increase in the reported prevalence of salmonellosis in dairy cattle in the Pacific Northwest. We have established that Salmonella typhimurium DT104 is responsible for much of this increase. S. typhimurium DT104 is emerging as a pathogen in the Pacific Northwest and elsewhere in the United States and has importance for animal and human health.
