The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of ethanolic extract of Egyptian propolis given alone or in combination with inactivated Pasteurella multocida vaccine on rabbits challenged with a virulent strain of Pasteurella multocida. Fifty-six New-Zealand rabbits, 6-8 weeks old and non-vaccinated against pasteurellosis, were randomly divided into eight equal groups. The first group...

during one year period from 2010 to 2011 the samples from pneumonic animals were taken and transported to the laboratory. pasteurella multocida were identified in 16.6% of animal by biochemical test. the high incidence of p. multocida was obtained in the south of fars province, where the area was warm region. the mean death time between the isolates was 12-18 and 19-24 hours. only the capsular ...

In the spring of 1975, many species of waterfowl and common crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) were found dead in Phelps County, Nebraska. About 25,000 water fowl and at least 3,000 crows died in the epornitic. Few waterfowl were seen dying, but the crows experienced a chronic illness during which they became debilitated and were lethargic and dyspneic. Gross and microscopic lesions in the waterfowl...

Pasteurella multocida, a gram-negative coccobacillus, part of the normal oral flora many domestic and wild mammals, has been described widespread veterinary pathogen potential to cause zoonotic infections in humans resulting from injuries caused by household or pets.

The virulence of Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) serotype A1 for chickens and mice was determined. Groups of chicken and mice were exposed intramuscularly and intraperitoneally to various concentration of P. multocida broth culture, respectively. This strain was highly virulent for chickens so that those exposed to only 7 c.f.u. of the organism died in less than 24 hours. Groups of mice ex...

pasteurella multocida is an opportunistic pathogen responsible for pneumonia of lambs and goats, respiratory atrophic rhinitis of swine. although the molecular basis of the pathogenicity and host specificity of p. multocida is not well understood, several studies have reported that a number of proteins are correlated with the pathogenic mechanisms. adhesins have a crucial role in mediating colo...

Several bacteria belonging to the family Pasteurellaceae might act as pathogens in rabbits. In particular, Pasteurella multocida is considered to be an important one and outbreaks caused by this species result in considerable economic losses. However, proper identification of P. multocida at the species and even more so at the subspecies level is often not very precise. Moreover, Pasteurellacea...
