title: Chronic cholera-like lesions caused by Moraxella osloensis.
abstract: Cholera-like lesions appeared in four house-confined flocks of tom turkeys on one farm from October 30, 1980, to December 2, 1980; Moraxella osloensis was isolated from the tissues. All flocks were treated with 0.04% sulfaquinoxaline in the water for 3 days. The flocks returned to normal and had normal condemnation rates at slaughter. An experiment was conducted in which six hen turkeys were inoculated with a M. osloensis isolate. The same gross lesions were produced as seen in the field cases.
