Salmonellosis in lizards of Ghana.
نویسنده
چکیده
MACKEY (1955), working in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanganyika, found the house lizard population to be heavily infected with salmonella organisms. Out of 301 lizards investigated by him from 1943 to 1953 he recovered salmonellre from 144, giving the high figure of 48 per cent positive isolations. Two new types, Salmonella mgulani and S. lindi, were found. During 1956 an investigation of the types of salmonellre carried by house lizards of Ghana was undertaken at this laboratory, specimens being collected from local districts including Accra, Legon Hill, Teshie, Takoradi, Winneba, Tamale, and Aburi.
