Observations on avian pasteurellosis in Britain.

P E Curtis

    The Veterinary Record
    |May 26, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pasteurella multocida infections in British birds and poultry were studied from 1974-1977. Bacterial isolates were examined to understand the extent and significance of these avian Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) infections.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Microbiology
    • Avian Pathology
    • Bacteriology

    Background:

    • Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) is a significant bacterial pathogen affecting various avian species.
    • Understanding the prevalence and impact of P. multocida in poultry and wild birds is crucial for disease control.
    • Previous data on P. multocida infections in British avian populations during the mid-20th century requires updating.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the prevalence and significance of Pasteurella multocida (P. multocida) infections in birds and poultry in Britain.
    • To gather epidemiological data on P. multocida outbreaks over a defined three-year period.
    • To characterize bacterial isolates from avian cases for better understanding of the pathogen.

    Main Methods:

    • A three-year study (1974-1977) was conducted across Britain.
    • Postal questionnaires were utilized to collect information on suspected avian infections.
    • Bacterial isolates from confirmed outbreaks underwent biochemical and serological examination.

    Main Results:

    • Data was collected from 91 poultry outbreaks and nine cases in other avian species.
    • Biochemical and serological analyses provided insights into the characteristics of P. multocida strains.
    • The study quantified the extent of P. multocida infections during the specified period.

    Conclusions:

    • The investigation provided a snapshot of P. multocida epidemiology in British avian populations.
    • Findings contribute to the knowledge base for managing P. multocida in poultry and other birds.
    • Further research may benefit from continued surveillance and characterization of P. multocida isolates.
