AI Article Synopsis
- The report highlights five European brown hares that died from mucoid and necrotizing typhlocolitis linked to different strains of Cronobacter turicensis in northeastern Austria.
- This is the first documented case of such acute deaths in these hares due to this pathogen.
- The findings suggest a potential risk of transmission from wildlife to humans, especially since Cronobacter mainly affects immunocompromised individuals and newborns.
Article Abstract
This is the first report of acute deaths in five European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) attributed to mucoid and necrotizing typhlocolitis caused by genetically different Cronobacter (C.) turicensis strains in northeastern Austria. As this opportunistic pathogen is mainly known for causing disease in immunocompromised humans and neonates, this previously unrecognized potential for a spill over from a wildlife reservoir to humans warrants further attention.
