We studied for serovar distribution of Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuis isolated from bovine, swine and chicken in Japan from 1980 to 1995. A total of 1,226 isolates were classified into 59 serovars. 84.3% of bovine isolates were occupied by serovar Dublin and Typhimurium. 71.2% of swine isolates were occupied by serovar Choleraesuis, Typhimurium and Derby. Chicken isolates were classified into 49 serovars.
