Reproductive pathophysiology of non-pregnant does challenged with Mannheimia haemolytica serotype A2 and its outer membrane protein extract
Mannheimia haemolytica causes pneumonic pasteurellosis (mannheimiosis) which is a common respiratory disease in goats and sheep causing huge economic losses to farmers around the world. In Malaysia, the primary causative agent for small ruminants’ pneumonic mannheimiosis is M. haemolytica serotype A...

Clinical responses were observed following the challenge and blood samples were collected at (0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 and 24 hours and at day 3, 7, 21, 35 and 56) post-inoculation for determination of (IL-1β, IL-6, Hp, SAA, oestrogen and progesterone) with sandwich ELISA.

Mannheimia haemolytica causes pneumonic pasteurellosis (mannheimiosis) which is a common respiratory disease in goats and sheep causing huge economic losses to farmers around the world. In Malaysia, the primary causative agent for small ruminants’ pneumonic mannheimiosis is M. haemolytica serotype A2.
