Listeria monocytogenes has been detected with the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) method on formalin-fixed,
paraffin-embedded organs from mice experimentally infected.6 The technique also has been successfully used to diagnose
natural avian listeriosis.8 Using this immunohistological
method we report the detection of L. monocytogenes in natural cases of encephalitis in sheep and cattle. The PAP method can be used as an aid to the routine diagnosis of listeriosis in these species, and a final etiological diagnosis can be established soon after the histopathological study.
