Tetanus is a severe toxinfection of a high gravity, characterized by cramp generalized. The causal agent of the disease = Clostridium tétani or bacillus of Nicolaier. This germ which is anaerobic is telluric i.e. it lives in the ground in the form of resistance (= spore) for a long time (of the years). One finds it in the intestine of the animals where it lives like saprophyte and it is thus eliminated with the saddles from these animals. The transmission is direct and it requires a door of entry. · Cutaneous wounds, even all small like the punctures of needles, of spines, which often even are already healed during the explosion of the disease. Let us quote also the injections, and the surgical operations, the traumatisms, etc · The umbilical wound, at the new born one · The uterine cavity after the especially criminal abortions. - The incubation period is very variable: 4 to 30 days; more incubation is short plus the disease is serious.

Le tétanos est une toxi-infection sévère d'une haute gravité, caractérisée par des contractures musculaires généralisées. L'agent causal de la maladie = le Clostridium tétani ou bacille de Nicolaier. Ce germe qui est anaérobie est tellurique c'est-à-dire qu'il vit dans le sol sous forme de résistance (= spore) pendant longtemps (des années). On le trouve dans l'intestin des animaux où il vit comme saprophyte et il est donc éliminé avec les selles de ces animaux.


La transmission est directe et elle nécessite une porte d'entrée.

· Plaies cutanées, même toutes petites comme les piqûres d'aiguilles, d'épines, qui souvent même sont déjà cicatrisées lors de l'explosion de la maladie. Citons aussi les injections, et les interventions chirurgicales, les traumatismes, etc.

· La plaie ombilicale, chez le nouveau né

· La cavité utérine après les avortements surtout criminels.


- La période d'incubation est très variable : 4 à 30 jours ; plus l'incubation est courte plus la maladie est grave.

I don't have the best answer, but I've heard it can vary from only several weeks or days, to literally years. But normally only 1-3 months. Well, that's what I've heard
