Abstract Background Clostridium chauvoei causes blackleg an acute disease associated with high mortality in ruminants. The apparent primary port of entry is oral during grazing on pasture contaminated by spores. Cases of blackleg can occur year after year on contaminated pastures. A method to determine the prevalence of C. chauvoei spores on pasture would be useful. The standard method for C. chauvoei detection is culture and biochemical identification which requires a pure culture. In most muscle samples from cattle dead from blackleg the amount of C. chauvoei in samples is high and the bacterium can easily be cultured although some samples may be contaminated. Detection by PCR would be faster and independent of contaminating .
