Type A infections are now recognized with increasing frequencyin neonatal and weaned pigs, and approaches to diagnosis and prophylaxis are both different and more complex than those for type C infections. Careful documentation of the clostridial etiology of these cases, including exclusion of other enteric pathogens, can provide the basis for effective strategies for prevention and control. ER -
