Almost every aspect of the bacteria that cause botulism and the characteristics of the disease itself are covered in this volume. Individual chapters deal with the organisms and their occurrence in nature, the bacteriocins and bacteriophages that affect their growth and toxin production, the heat and radiation resistance of their spores, the properties and action of the toxins they produce, and the susceptibility of different species to their various toxins. The incidence and characteristics of botulism in man, domestic animals and wild birds are described and methods of control, where available, are given.
