1981

Ted Tesprateep

The authors reported an outbreak of infection occurring in a small poultry laying farm without obvious symptoms of sick birds. The mortality rate within a few week-period of onset was up to 50%. Post mortem examinations were conducted and the lesions were described. With the aid of bacteriological confirmation including biochemical and pathogenicity test, the cause of the disease was found to be Pasteurella multocida. None of the birds died after one-week treatment and management.
