The Prevalence of Salmonella spp. in Two Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus) Farms in Poland
The objective of the study was to determine the occurrence of Salmonella spp. infections in two Arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) farms in Poland, and to analyse the correlations between animals that tested positive for Salmonella spp and breeding results. Faecal samples were taken from 1094 clinically he...
