To invastigate the epidemiological trait of listeriosis, Listeria monocytogenes were isolated from the carcasses of pigs and cattle, and environmental specimens in slaughter house. Also serotype of isolates were classified by rapid slide agglutination test. In the carcasses of pigs, Listeria sp were isolated from the carcasses after bleeding(62%), after dismemberment(60.0%) and before shipping(76.0%), and L monocytogenes were present in 8% of the carcasses after dismemberment and in 14% of the carcasses before shipping. However, few Listeria sp were isolated from the living body skin and the carcasses after scalding. In the carcasses of cattle, Listeria sp were isolated from the carcasses after bleeding(10%), after dismemberment(36.7%) and before shipping(63.3%), L monocytogenes were present in 3.3% of the carcasses after dismemberment and in 10% of the carcasses before shipping. Overall, L monocytogenes, L innocua, L welshimen, L grayi, and L murrayi were present In 4.8, 40, 2.3, 2.6 and 0.3% of all the carcasses, respectively. Prevalence of Listeria sp in environmental specimens were found to be 80% in slaughter house floors and 100% in sewage, and L monocytogenes were present in 15% of sewage. However, few Listeria sp were isolated from chilled water and from scalding water. Overall, L monocytogenes, L innocua, and L welshimeri were present in 3.8, 45 and 6.3% of all the environmental specimens, respectively. A total 27 strains of L monocytogenes were isolated from samples tested and all of the strains were classified into serotype 1.
