| dc.description.abstract | The sensitivity of Oreochromis mossambicus to Clostridium botulinum toxin types A-E was investigated. All five toxin types were toxic to O. mossambicus. In the case of toxin types A-D, O. mossambicus was considerably more resistant than mice and, in the case of type E toxin, fish were more sensitive. The minimum intraperitoneal (i.p.) dose of type E toxin for fish was half the minimum lethal dose for mice. The results of the study suggest that good hygiene should be maintained in fish/shrimp farms to keep contamination at a low level. | en_US |
