Abstract
Avian cholera [due to Pasteurella multocida] was diagnosed in lesser snow geese (Anser c. caerulescens), Ross'' geese (A. rossii) and individuals of several other waterfowl species in a small area of south-western Saskatchewan over 1 mo. during the 1977 spring migration. Approximately 250 dead birds were found. This is apparently the 1st time avian cholera was reported in migrating waterfowl in Canada. The mortality site was midway between the wintering and nesting areas of the 2 principal species. The significance of the disease occurrence this far north is discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
