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.

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 ...
Following on from this, in 1857 Louis Pasteur also designed vaccines against several diseases such as anthrax, fowl cholera and rabies as well as pasteurization for food preservation. [5] In 1867 Joseph Lister is considered to be the father of antiseptic surgery.
