Popis: The occurrence of coligranulomatosis in a Brazilian flock of 1500 8-to-12-month-old coturnix quail is described. The disease caused an 85% drop in egg production and 15% mortality. Lesions were located on the mesentery, intestines, gizzard, heart, oviducts, ovaries, and liver. Samples of these organs were submitted for bacteriological culture, isolation, identification, pathogenicity assay by inoculation of diluted cultures into healthy hens, and histopathology.
