Pasteurellosis in camels in Southern Mongolia: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Hemorrhagic septicemia (pasteurellosis) in animals, caused by Pasteurella multocida Trevisan 1887, is a significant but previously undocumented disease in Mongolian camels. Pasteurella multocida, a small Gram-negative coccobacillus, typically exists commensal in the nasopharynx of camels but can cause severe illness under certain environmental stressors. This study reports the first case of cameline hemorrhagic septicemia in Gobi region of Mongolia, specifically in Umnugobi province, where acute septicemia affected 26 camels, resulting in 10 deaths within 24-48 hours. Clinical signs included depression, inappetence, lethargy, increased rectal temperature, and paralysis of the lower lip. Surviving camels responded to treatment with Lactate Ringer solution and antibiotics. Post
