Haemorrhagic septicemia is a highly fatal disease of bovines in Nepal. The disease is reported throughout the country causing significant economic loss. Outbreaks of HS were recorded in some of the villages of Kaski and Parbat districts (Nepal) during the year 1998, 1999 and 2000. These outbreaks were investigated to isolate and identify the causative microorganism. Most of the outbreaks were reported after the death of animals. A total of 19 samples from dead animals and one from HS suspected animal were subjected to laboratory investigations and characterisation. Twelve isolates were identified as Pasteurella multocida and all were found to be of serotype B:2 on capsular and somatic typing.
