Abstract:
Hemorrhagic Septicemia (HS) caused by Pasteurella multocida (serotypes B:2 and E:2), is an acute, fatal septicemic disease. India being an endemic country faces higher mortalities among the affected animals persistently. Appropriate use of potent vaccines, viz., live attenuated vaccine, recombinant vaccine; subunit vaccine, DNA vaccine etc. help extensively in prevention of HS. As HS causes huge production losses and imparts the maximum mortalities, it is alarming in disguise to emphasize on prevention and control strategies compulsorily, prioritizing the regular surveillance, monitoring, and administration of the most potent vaccines given to all the concerned animals in the field. Thus, the current review paper concentrates on a number of aspects in Asian nations (India), which shows to be the most effective weapon in winning a control war against pasteurellosis.
