Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes, a facultative intracellular pathogen, is responsible for
severe food-borne infections in humans and can also cause invasive disease in many
different animal species, including farm ruminants cattle, sheep, and goats. Several
animal-derived L. monocytogenes-contaminated food products, including raw milk,
pasteurized milk, chocolate milk, butter, soft cheeses, processed meat and poultry
products are the main sources of human listeriosis cases and outbreaks. In ruminants it
primarily causes encephalitis and uterine infections. The encephalitic form of animal
listeriosis is characterized by neurological signs, including circling, excessive
salivation, unilateral facial paralysis and uterine infections are characterized by lateterm
abortions or septicemia in neonates.
The present study was undertaken to characterize
