Abstract
Initial results from a study of five small ovine listeriosis outbreaks in Scotland in 1989 to 1991 are presented. Forty-eight isolates inclu ding three from silage were typed at 10 polymorphic enzyme loci by usi ng multilocus enzyme electrophoresis resulting in the identification o f 12 electrophoretic types. Phylogenetic analysis partitioned the 12 e lectrophoretic types into two statistically distinct divisions disting uishing 1/2a serotypes from non-1/2a serotypes.
