Abstract
Tetanus is caused by the action of a
potent neurotoxin formed in the body by
Clostridum tetani, which are introduced to
animal hosts usually traumatically (Wells and
Balish, 1983). Disease occurs frequently in
horses, less often in other herbivores and
occasionally in pigs and carnivores (Rood et al.
1977).
