This study focuses on the causes of abortion in Danish sheep. During one breeding season, aborted foetuses and stillbirths with signs of intrauterine death or malformation were submitted for laboratory examination from a population of 3,758 breeding ewes. Samples from 24 incidents of abortion and 21 ewes delivering malformed lambs or lambs with ante partum decomposition were submitted. A specific aetiology was established in 66.7% and 14.3% of the cases, respectively. Bacterial pathogens were the most prevalent cause of abortion. Several of the abortifacients were zoonotic microorganisms, for example <jats:italic>Listeria monocytogenes<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Campylobacter fetus<\/jats:italic> subsp. <jats:italic>fetus<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Yersinia pseudotuberculosis<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Toxoplasma gondii.<\/jats:italic> The identified microorganisms probably represent the most common causes of abortion in Danish sheep but occurrence in Denmark of other pathogens such as <jats:italic>Coxiella burnetii<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Chlamydophila abortus<\/jats:italic> cannot be excluded. Due to the high prevalence of zoonotic microorganisms, precautions must be taken in handling abortions or assisting lambing, especially for pregnant women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0463.2006.apm_362.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,7]],"date-time":"2006-03-07T09:06:42Z","timestamp":1141722402000},"page":"146-152","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Veterinary and medical aspects of abortion in Danish sheep"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"114","author":[{"given":"J\u00d8RGEN S.","family":"AGERHOLM","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"BENT","family":"AALB\u00c6K","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ANNE MARIE","family":"FOG\u2010LARSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"METTE","family":"BOYE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ELISABETH","family":"HOLM","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"TIM K.","family":"JENSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"TINA","family":"LINDHARDT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"LARS E.","family":"LARSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"DAVID","family":"BUXTON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_2","first-page":"111","volume-title":"Statistik om landbrug, gartneri og skovbrug","author":"Landbrug 2003","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_2","first-page":"405","article-title":"\u00c4tiologische Untersuchungen \u00fcber den Abort bei Schafen unter besonderer Ber\u00fccksichtigung des Nachweises von Brucellen, Campylobacter, Salmonellen, Listerien, Leptospiren und Chlamydien","volume":"100","author":"Arda M","year":"1987","journal-title":"Berl M\u00fcnch Tier\u00e4rztl Wschr"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1024\/0036-7281.144.9.483"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/104063879300500316"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_2","first-page":"145","article-title":"Die h\u00e4ufigsten infekti\u00f6sen Abortusursachen beim Schaf in Nordbayern unter besonderer Ber\u00fccksichtigung der Chlamydien\u2010 und Salmonelleninfektionen","volume":"17","author":"Plagemann O","year":"1989","journal-title":"Tier\u00e4rztl Prax"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-0813.1972.tb08011.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_2","first-page":"557","volume-title":"Arthur's Veterinary Reproduction and Obstetrics","author":"Smith K","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"412","DOI":"10.1186\/BF03547896","article-title":"Toxoplasmosis in sheep.
