antibodies against pasteurella multocida in snow geese in the western arctic.	to determine if lesser snow geese (chen caerulescens caerulescens) are a potential reservoir for the pasteurella multocida bacterium that causes avian cholera, serum samples and/or pharyngeal swabs were collected from > 3,400 adult geese breeding on wrangel island (russia) and banks island (canada) during 1993-1996. pharyngeal swab sampling rarely (> 0.1%) detected birds that were exposed to p. multocida in these populations. geese with serum antibody levels indicating recent infection with p. m ...	1999	10479077
pasteurella multocida serotype 1 isolated from a lesser snow goose: evidence of a carrier state.	pharyngeal swabs were collected from 298 lesser snow geese (chen caerulescens caerulescens) at banks island (northwest territories. canada) in the summer of 1994. pasteurella multocida serotype 1 was isolated from an adult male bird and p. multocida serotype 3 was isolated from an adult female goose. pathogenicity of the serotype 1 isolate was confirmed by inoculation in pekin ducks (anas platyrhynchos). the serotype 3 isolate was non-pathogenic in pekin ducks. this is the first documented isola ...	1997	9131570
