Pasteurellosis

Pasteurellosis (pasteurellosis; synonym: hemorrhagic septicemia) is an acute infectious disease of animals, characterized by septicemia, damage to the respiratory system and gastrointestinal tract.

Pasteurellosis is caused by microorganisms of the genus Pasteurella. The source of infection is sick and recovered animals. Infection occurs through nutritional, aerogenic and contact routes.

Clinical signs include fever, depression, refusal to feed, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis, and diarrhea. Characterized by hemorrhagic rashes on the mucous membranes and skin. Pneumonia, enteritis, and meningitis may develop.

Diagnosis is based on clinical signs, pathological changes and laboratory tests. Treatment includes the use of antibiotics, disinfectants, and immunostimulants. For prevention, vaccination, sanitary and quarantine measures are used.

Pasteurellosis is an infectious disease and a severe putrefactive form of septicemia, or sepsis. With septicemia, wounds and other lesions of the body are the entry points for infection. The bacterium Pasteurella multocida causes mild and severe forms of this disease. Although the most pathogenic is septicemia, a gram-negative bacillus Pasteurella, isolated from wounds where it enters through scratching (wounds or scratching of the skin by animals due to bites). The incubation period ranges from 4 to 7 days and depends on the type of host animal. Large wounds require a longer time due to the increased proliferation of bacteria in the wounds.\n\nAnimals become ill with pasteurellosis only if there is swelling of the eyelids due to transmission with foot-and-mouth disease, wounds, dermatitis, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to prevent panorama.
