Two experiments were conducted to try and
differentiate variations in the levels of total plasma
protein and plasma protein fractions from three lines of
turkeys, each with distinct muscle morphological
characteristics--Deep Pectoral Myopathy (DPM), Hereditary
Muscular Dystrophy (MDY), and a Broad Breasted Bronze
control (J).
Ten day old poults from...
Pathogenesis and immunity involved in fowl cholera were studied
with the turkey, one of the most susceptible natural hosts. The
causative agent, Pasteurella multocida, was analyzed in terms of its
virulence and immunogenic factors, using a highly virulent, encapsulated
strain P-1059.
Protective immunity was induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-
protein complex...
Pasteurella multocida causes diseases in many animal
species including fowl cholera, a septicemic disease of
poultry and other birds. Pathogenesis of the disease has
been studied by many investigators by the systemic
administration of the organism in poultry. However, only a
few studies have been done as to the respiratory...
