Abstract

Experimental infection of geese, turkeys and chickens with the newly isolated Pasteurella multocida type "D" strain of ducks showed that, this strain was highly pathogenic for geese and turkeys and to a less etent in chickens.
Per acute death's were obviously observed in the intramuscularly infected birds than those instillated in the nose.
The macro- and microscopical pictures of the disease were studied.
Continuation of dissemination of the micro-organism was more persistent in chickens than in turkey and geese.
