Abstract

Gross and histopathological examination of naturally occurring pas teurella infection was carried out in clinically diseased ducks. Pas teurella multocida D was isolated and identified. Experimental induc tion of the disease was performed via intranasal and intramuscular routes of infection using the isolated new serotype in native and Pekin ducks. Comparative histomorphologic studies as well as the pathogenesis of infection were investigated and discussed.
