.- L??zaro N.S. & Hofer E. 1996. Anti-Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 3 agglutinins in swine sera from Rio de Janeiro. Pesquisa Veterin??ria Brasileira 16(4):121-123. Depto Epidemiologia e Sa?ode P?oblica, Instituto de Veterin??ria, Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Serop??dica, RJ 23851-970, Brasil. The slow serum agglutination test was applied to 119 healthy pigs for the determination of the possible presence of anti-Yersinia enterocolitica 0:3 agglutinins. Of the 63.9% reactive animals (?31:20), 8.4% presented positive titers (?31:80), suggesting the presence of this pathogen among swine and consequently an additional public health problem. INDEX
