Immunology of the Outer Membrane Proteins of Pasteurella haemolytica A2, A7 and A9 in Sheep
Pneumonic pasteurellosis is a common respiratory disease of goats and sheep throughout the world, including Malaysia. In Malaysia, Pasteurella haemolytica A2 is most commonly isolated from cases of pneumonic pasteurellosis in sheep and goats followed by Pasteurella haemolytica A7 and A9. Vaccination...

Pneumonic pasteurellosis is a common respiratory disease of goats and sheep throughout the world, including Malaysia. In Malaysia, Pasteurella haemolytica A2 is most commonly isolated from cases of pneumonic pasteurellosis in sheep and goats followed by Pasteurella haemolytica A7 and A9.
