An outbreak of fowl cholera due to Pasteurella gallinarum in Uttar Pradesh (India).
An acute outbreak of fowl cholera in one-month-old chickens was investigated. Pasteurella gallinarum was isolated in pure culture from the heart blood of two moribund chicks. One of the isolants on experimental inoculation was found to be nonpathogenic for rabbits, mice, and chickens. It did not provide protection in rabbits against a virulent strain of P. multocida. This seems to be the first record of the isolation of P. gallinarum in India.
