In pigs. The term "salmonellosis" is now usually reserved for a severe septicaemia. Salmonella cholerae suis causes this; symptoms including fever, huddling together, purple discoloration of ears, unsteady gait, sometimes scouring. The same organism may give rise to a chronic infection with scouring. The organism can infect man.

OBS

Although some sources equate an infection with Salmonella cholera suis and necrotic enteritis, the distinctions between the two are listed in source MIVET, p. 523.
