Abstract
LISTERIOSIS is an infectious disease occurring in animals and man and is caused by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.
It is worldwide in distribution and has been reported in 28 species of animals and 11 species of birds.
This disease was recently diagnosed in Western Australia for the first time when it was found to be a cause of abortion and perinatal lamb losses in sheep.
