Pathogenicity Of Pasteurella Multocida Serotypes A:3, D:1 And D:3 In Rabbits

Eighty-two isolates of P. multocida were recovered from healthy and diseased rabbits in a rabbitry at Universiti Putra Malaysia. S ixty three isolates were obtained from adult rabbits and 1 9 isolates were from juvenile rabbits. Bacterial identification by biochemical tests, capsular and somatic...
