Shiga Toxins, and the Genes Encoding Them, in Fecal Samples from Native Idaho Ungulates

Cattle are a known reservoir of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli. The prevalence and stability of Shiga toxin and/or Shiga toxin genes among native wild ungulates in Idaho were investigated. The frequency of both Shiga genes and toxin was similar to that reported for Idaho cattle (~19%).
