Fowl cholera is also called avian cholera, avian pasteurellosis and avian hemorrhagic septicemia. [1] It is the most common pasteurellosis of poultry. As the causative agent is Pasteurella multocida, it is considered to be a zoonosis. Adult birds and old chickens are more susceptible. In parental flocks, cocks are far more susceptible than hens ...
P. multocida is the cause of a range of diseases in mammals and birds, including fowl cholera in poultry, atrophic rhinitis in pigs, and bovine hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle and buffalo. It can also cause a zoonotic infection in humans, which typically is a result of bites or scratches from domestic pets.
Pasteurellosis is an infection with a species of the bacterial genus Pasteurella, [1] which is found in humans and other animals.. Pasteurella multocida (subspecies P. m. septica and P. m. multocida) is carried in the mouth and respiratory tract of various animals, including pigs. [2]
Many Pasteurella species are zoonotic pathogens, and humans can acquire an infection from domestic animal bites. [4] [5] In cattle, sheep, and birds, Pasteurella species can cause a life-threatening pneumonia; in cats and dogs, however, Pasteurella is not a cause of disease, and constitutes part of the normal flora of the nose and mouth.

The first attenuated vaccine developed by Louis Pasteur, for fowl cholera, was tested on poultry in 1878. [89] Anti-malarials were tested on birds which harbour avian-malarias. [90] Poultry continues to be used as a model for many studies in non-mammalian immunology. [91] Studies in bird behaviour include the use of tamed and trained birds in ...
If people with cholera are treated quickly and properly, the mortality rate is less than 1%; however, with untreated cholera, the mortality rate rises to 50–60%. [17] [1] For certain genetic strains of cholera, such as the one present during the 2010 epidemic in Haiti and the 2004 outbreak in India, death can occur within two hours of ...
