Rabbit pasteurellosis is a generalised disease
T
affecting multiple organs and systems in rabbits. It commonly presents with respiratory symptoms, but it can also affect other organs such as the liver, spleen, and reproductive tract.
Pasteurella multocida A and D strains can cause pasteurellosis in rabbit
T
P. multocida A (D, F)
Clinical signs of pasteurellosis in rabbits are most severe in new-born animals
F
The agent of rabbit pasteurellosis can cause septicaemia.
T
- nasal discharge
- conjunctivitis
- laboured breath
- septicaemia
- otitis media (CNS)
- abscesses (sub cutaneous)
Nasal discharge is a typical clinical sign of rabbit pasteurellosis.

Pathology:
- purulent bronchopneumonia

- abscesses
- pyometra, orchitis
Otitis media can be a clinical sign of rabbit pasteurellosis
T
- nasal discharge

Rabbit pasteurellosis causes only respiratory clinical signs.
F
SEPTICEMIA
rabbit pasteurellosis is more frequent in large scale farms than in small ones
T
Mannheimia haemolytica causes rabbit pasteurellosis:
F
P. multocida A (D, F)
mixed infection is possible: S. aureus, B. bronchiseptica

Serous pneumonia is typical in the case of pasteurellosis of rabbits
F
purulent bronchopneumonia
Pasteurellosis is limited to the respiratory track in rabbits
F
replication in lungs: bronchopneumonia, conjunctivitis
