An Official Outbreak Investigation of Acute Haemorrhagic Diarrhoea in Dogs in Norway Points to <i>Providencia alcalifaciens</i> as a Likely Cause

An outbreak investigation was initiated in September 2019, following a notification to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) of an unusually high number of dogs with acute haemorrhagic diarrhoea (AHD) in Oslo. Diagnostic testing by reporting veterinarians had not detected a cause. The official...
