| Abstract: | In 2002 and 2003, blood samples from white stork (Ciconia ciconia) chicks were examined for the presence of antibodies against Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria antibodies were detected in 121 (59%) of 205 chick samples. The probability of Listeria antibodies being present increased with chick age; chicks detected with Listeria antibodies were in better condition than those without the bacterium. |
