  • Title: A non-hemolytic, group B Streptococcus infection of cultured bullfrogs, Rana catesbeiana, in Brazil.
    Author: Amborski RL, Snider TG, Thune RL, Culley DD.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1983 Jul; 19(3):180-4. PubMed ID: 6358536.
    Abstract:
    A systemic streptococcal infection in cultured bullfrogs in Brazil was characterized by necrotizing splenitis and hepatitis with hepatic and renal hemorrhage. A non-hemolytic Group B Streptococcus appeared to be the cause of the lesions, and the stimulus for the splenic reticuloendothelial hyperplasia observed in the animals. Stress may have been a factor in the development of the pathological condition.
