چکیده
Fowl cholera, also called as avian cholera or avian pasteurellosis, is a contagious and economically important disease of poultry particularly chicken, turkeys, ducks and geese (Rimler and Glisson, 1997). It is caused by Pasteurella multocida,a small gram-negative bacteria, which inhabits the upper respiratory tract of the many avian species as commensal (Rimler and Glisson, 1997). It has been seen that outbreaks occur in cold and wet weather and in wild birds this disease is most commonly associated with wetlands that act as reservoirs of the bacterium. The disease presents in two very different forms: acute and chronic. The disease in acute form is characterized by sudden onset with high morbidity and mortality. Infected birds may die within 8–12 hours after contracting the bacterium (Christiansen et al., 1992).
