Pasteurella multocida is responsible for major animal diseases of economic importance in both developed and developing countries including India. The prevalence of pasteurellosis has been documented in India as well as in the state of Himachal Pradesh where disease outbreaks from different agro-climatic regions have been reported. Aiming at increased knowledge of these infections in Himachal Pradesh, we employed the conventional methods and advanced molecular methods for culturing, characterization, capsular serotyping, and analysis of virulence factors for rapid epidemiological investigation and pathogenicity of Pasteurella multocida infections in H.P. Vaccine-induced protective biomarkers were also studied using advanced immunological techniques. We also summarize our efforts to enhance the ability to rapidly diagnose clinical infections and to prevent and control pasteurellosis by validation of vaccines.Downloads
