Abstract
In Europe, yersiniosis is mainly caused by the bacterial species Yersinia e nterocolitica. The clinical picture of yersiniosis in farm animals includin g pig, chinchilla, cattle, small ruminants and the pet animals dog and cat is described in detail. However, data on seroprevalence and prevalence in t hese animals are not available. Therefore, further research is needed in th e fields of epidemiology and epizootiology.
