[Forensic aspects of atrophic rhinitis of swine]

Atrophic rhinitis in swine is presented by means of recently published research work. Thereby it is emphasized as a significant forensic matter, that a reliable diagnosis could only be produced by combined application of clinical, pathoanatomical and bacteriological investigations and that the isolation of toxin-producing strains of Pasteurella multocida in a herd without clinical symptoms of atrophic rhinitis is to be considered as a proof of latent atrophic rhinitis.
