This bibliography, first compiled in 1970 in response to many requests for information on avian botulism, has been updated to include the literature published through 1975. In general only, articles dealing primarily with the avian disease are included, as opposed to those concerned with the various aspects of the biology of Clostridium botulinum, either type C or type E.A few exceptions, such as Bengtson's report of the first isolation and description of the type C organism, are included for their historical interest. Progress reports and other administrative documents not available for distribution on request are excluded, as are textbook accounts, which are generally summaries of work published elsewhere. Although there was an attempt to list every important reference, no claim to complete coverage of the published literature is made and the authors will be grateful to users of the bibliography who call attention to errors or omissions.
