Clostridium chauvoei is an anaerobic, motile, Gram-positive bacterium. It is a soil-borne pathogen that can cause blackleg in cattle and sheep. It is named after Auguste Chauveau, a French bacteriologist and veterinarian.[1]
It is mainly considered to be an veterinary pathogen, but at least two severe cases of human infection have been reported.[2][3] Indigenous knowledge from Fula people in Cameroon and Maasai people in Tanzania suggest that zoonotic infection with C. chauvoei may be common among pastoralists.[4] However, these reports may also be due to infection with other Clostridium strains that can cause blackleg, such as C. septicum.[3]
A study conducted in Taiwan found a correlation between flooding and how often C. chauvoei was found in soil samples. This is attributed to flood waters dispersing the bacteria throughout the environment.[5]
