Pasteurella multocida is known as one of the main organisms causing pneumonia in sheep. As immunity in pasteurellosis is serogroup specific, identification of prevalent capsular group among endemic areas is essential. The aim of this study was to molecular identification and determine of the capsular type of the P. multocida strains isolated from sheep pneumonia in Iran. Bacteriological and bio...

Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is a highly fatal disease in cattle and buffaloes, caused by specific serotypes of Pasteurella mul tocida. It is a primary pasteurellosis reproducible in susceptible animals with the specific organism alone. The accepted classification of Pasteurella multocida is based on the identification of its somatic and capsu­ lar antigens. On this basis two serotypes designa...

Pasteurella spp. are Gram-negative facultative bacteria that cause severe economic and animal losses. Pasteurella-based vaccines the most promising solution for controlling outbreaks. Remarkably, insufficient biomass cultivation (low cell viability productivity) lack of knowledge about process have impacted bulk production vaccines. Bioprocess optimization in shake flask bioreactor is required ...

In this paper, we describe the design of the hardware and software for a virtual bronchoscope w'th force feedback. A haptic interface allows surgeons t o feel the reaction force of virtual pneumonic s u r g e y as i f they were touching the area directly. W e present novel algorithms fo r haptic force rendering, and examine i ts ability t o display force. The rendering algorithms have been inte...

A temperature-sensitive shuttle vector, pBB80C, was utilized to generate in-frame deletion mutants of the leukotoxin structural gene (lktA) of Mannheimia haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 12. Culture supernatants from the mutants contained a truncated protein with an approximate molecular weight of 66 kDa which was reactive to anti-leukotoxin monoclonal antibody. No protein reactiv...

To the Editor: In an investigation of a pneumonic plague outbreak in Madagascar, Ramasindrazana et al. reported isolation of Yersinia pestis from 2 patients and seroconversion in 2 additional patients; these data indicated 4 (28.7%) of 14 diagnosed cases among described cases (1). The risk for overestimation of pneumonic plague contagion was illustrated by an outbreak in the Democratic Republic...
