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.[2]
Besides chickens, the disease also concerns turkeys, ducks, geese, raptors, and canaries. Turkeys are particularly sensitive, with mortality ranging to 65%.[3]
The recognition of this pathological condition is of ever increasing importance for differential diagnosis with avian influenza.
