Resumo

Abstract Extract This paper describes the isolation of a haemolytic variant of Actinobacillus equuli from a foal which died from acute septicaemia. Foal deaths due to non-haemolytic A. Equuli (also known as Shigella equirulus) in New Zealand have been described previously by Hutchinson (1956 Hutchinson, Sally C. 1956. Shigella equirulus infection in a foal. N.Z. vet. J., 4: 119–120. [Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]) and Bloomberg (1963 Bloomberg, J. H. 1963. Atypical symptoms in a case of sleepy foal disease (Actinobacillus equuli infection). N.Z. vet. J., 11: 125–126. [Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]).
