Summary.
Intestinal yersiniosis is a dangerous infectious disease of farm animals caused
by Yersinia enterocolitica. In young animals
the disease occurs with symptoms of gastro-intestinal tract lesions. The
subclinical form of the disease is detected in adult
animals. Infected animals remain agents during the whole period of the life and
there are a threat for livestock and human health. Such animals are identified by serological studies. Nowadays the research
on the distribution of intestinal yersiniosis in Ukraine has
been conducted insufficiently. The results of the conducted serological
screening of intestinal yersiniosis causative agent of Yersinia
enterocolitica serovar O:9 on the animal-breeding
farms of the different regions of Ukraine. Serological screening was done on
the 15 farms in 7 regions of Ukraine, 213 blood serum
samples from cattle, sheep, pigs were examined.
