Abstract
Control measures for this disease should include euthanasia of any animals suspected to be infected, complete disinfection of all enclosures and associated equipment using sodium hypochlorite. Molecular methods could be employed to ensure complete removal of bacterial spores prior to new animals being moved into enclosures where affected animals were housed. Tyzzer's disease is a fast spreading disease which can cause detrimental effects to captive colonies and their environment. Captive colonies subjected to stress are at risk of Tyzzer's disease. Appropriate quarantine procedures, close montoring and quick action in response to signs of illness will ensure Tyzzer's disease outbreaks do not occur.
