title: Isolation of Moraxella anatipestifer from embryonated goose eggs.
abstract: Twenty six embryonated goose eggs which had not hatched at term were investigated bacteriologically. Moraxella anatipestifer was isolated from seven of them. This suggests that vertical transmission is possible and might explain the problems of eradicating Moraxella infection by hygienic means only.
