Transmission of Pasteurella multocida in rabbits.
Contact and airborne transmission of P. multocida in rabbits was evaluated in an artificially controlled environment. Transmission by contact occurred more readily from rabbits with acute infections than from rabbits with chronic infections. However, airborne transmission to rabbits in adjacent cages did not occur.
