| description | <b>Aim:</b> To describe prevalence and pathology of pneumonic
pasteurellosis in sheep slaughtered in Kashmir Valley, India.<p>
<b>Material and Methods:</b> 2155 ovine lungs from various abattoirs
were examined. Lungs with gross pneumonic lesions
were collected. Specimens taken from the different lobes
were collected for bacteriological culture. Based on the
bacteriology, tissues were processed for histopathological
examination. Duplicate sections were stained for connective
tissue by Masson's Trichrome Stain, elastin by Hart's
method, neutral and acid mucopolysaccharide by Combined
Alcian Blue PAS technique, and mast cells by Toluidine Blue
Stain.<p>
<b>Results:</b> Out of 956 grossly pneumonic lung samples, Pasteurella
spp. was isolated from 398 affected lung samples
giving an overall prevalence of 18.46% (398/2155) in
the population studied. The prevalence was significantly
(p≤0.01) higher in winter (29.76%) and spring (21.03%) as
compared to autumn (12.35%) and summer (9.4%). Gross
and histopathological examination revealed features typical
of fibrinous pneumonia.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> Ovine pasteurellosis is highly prevalent in
Kashmir Valley. These findings will help in developing better
control measures against the disease to prevent the ensuing
economic losses |
