Excerpt from Necrotic Stomatitis: With Special Reference to Its Occurrence in Calves (Calf Diphtheria) And Pigs (Sore Mouth)
The vestibular character of the mouth in its relation to the general organism makes any disease of the oral cavity an important matter. Mechanic, chemic, and thermic influences may each play a part in the production of various disturbances of its mucous membrane, but the most frequently operative of all causes - and most serious, too - are the microorganismal. It is these last which render any form of stoma titis serious and constitute the real source of danger in the grave forms. Not the least interesting in this last group - and, as we shall show, of considerable economic importance, although until recent vears not recognized in this country - is the affection to which we have given the name necrotic stomatitis. Owning similar predisposing condi tions and recognizing a common etiologic agent, its occurrence has been noted in calves, pigs, adult cattle, lambs, asses, kangaroos, rabbits, dogs. And chickens. In this country it has been reported up to the present time only among calves and young pigs, being probably more prevalent among the latter. For this reason and because our investi gations in this disease have been limited to cases occurring in these two species only, the following pages will deal with necrotic stomatitis of calves and of pigs.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an early look into research that explores a disease affecting animals that would eventually be found to also impact people. Necrotic stomatitis is a rapidly spreading disease that causes necrosis bacilli to develop on the lining of the mouth. It is an inoculation disease that attacks animals with abraded mouth linings. The authors provide the first in-depth look at this disease in pigs and calves, documenting numerous experiments and observations that were necessary to reach their findings. The experiments explore the effects of the disease on a variety of animals, document the development of the disease in laboratory conditions, and conclude with the significant insight that the necrosis bacillus originates in the intestines of healthy animals.
