Abstract
Campylobacter jejuni was isolated in pure culture from the vaginal discharge from three German Shepherd
bitches after late-pregnancy abortions. The main clinical sign occurring in the bitches was a profuse and
odourless haemorrhagic vaginal discharge.
This is the first documented report of abortion in bitches caused by Campylobacter jejuni in South Africa.
