Abstract

389 samples were collected from healthy and diseased lungs and trachea of sheep and examined for the isolation and identification of Pasteurella species. 18 Pasteurella isolates were obtained and differentiated biochemically, biologically by mice inoculation and serologically by passive mouse protection test into three serotypes (IV, V and II). Only one strain from diseased lung was untyped.
