Abstract
A model of pneumonic pasteurellosis has been established in goats usin g Pasteurella multocida harvested from pneumonic lungs of goats (types A and D), rabbits (type A) and sheep (type D). The resultant infectio ns were acute, subacute or chronic. The gross and histological lesions of the subacute and chronic infections were typical of pneumonic past eurellosis. P. multocida type D produced significantly (P < 0.01) more severe lesions when compared with other isolates. There were strong c orrelations between the clinical signs and the severity of lesions.
