Blackleg is an endogenous acute infection that principally affects cattle, whose etiologic agent is the anaerobic bacterium
Clostridium chauvoei. In recent years, the major virulence factors of C. chauvoei have been discovered and described. However, the
pathogenesis of blackleg in cattle, and in particular, the movement of the pathogen from the point of entry to the affected tissues is not yet fully
elucidated. Disease control is based on appropriate management and vaccination. This review summarizes the latest research findings that
contribute toward the understanding of the disease in cattle, provide a foundation to preventive strategies, and identify future research needs.
Key words: Clostridium chauvoei, sudden death, myonecrosis.
