chicken cholera

Later I learned that chicken cholera was the villain, but by then it was too late.

From his research, he conducted important investigations of chicken cholera, septicemia and tuberculosis.

Then in 1929 a chicken cholera epidemic wiped the flock out in a matter of weeks.

He worked with Pasteur and came up, by chance, with a vaccine for chicken cholera.

Pasteur's later work on diseases included work on chicken cholera.

While there, he investigated the use of chicken cholera bacillus in an attempt to eradicate the country's rabbit infestation.

Used to make chicken cholera and anthrax "vaccines" (Louis Pasteur)

To head off competitors, Pasteur had purposely withheld reporting the simple method he used to prepare the chicken cholera vaccine.

In animals it can originate fulminant septicaemia (chicken cholera), but is also a common commensal.

In 1880, Pasteur was playing with the very tiny microbe that kills chickens with a malady known as chicken cholera.

Pasteurella was first described around 1880 and thought to be associated with chicken cholera and hemorrhagic septicemia in animals.

In 1879, Henri Toussaint identified a bacterial species involved in chicken cholera and named the genus in honor of Pasteur, Pasteurella.

Pasteur applied the discovery to develop chicken cholera vaccine, introduced in a public experiment, an empirical challenge to the stance of Koch's bacteriologists that bacterial traits were unalterable.

They let virulent chicken cholera microbes grow old in their bottles of broth; they inoculated these enfeebled bugs into dozens of healthy chickens-which promptly got sick, but as quickly recovered.

Between 1888 and 1894, the island was used as a laboratory by scientists working for the Pasteur Institute, who were researching the use of the chicken cholera microbe to control Australia's rabbit population.

Stemming from this discovery, he used experiment to develop vaccines for chicken cholera, anthrax and rabies, and to develop methods for reducing bacteria in some food products by heating them (pasteurization).

Mr President, Commissioner Byrne, I welcome your statement here this morning, but I understand that you went to Thailand and were told that it was not avian flu but chicken cholera.

Metchnikoff came out of the fog of his theory of phagocytes for a moment, and tried to satisfy them by sowing chicken cholera bacilli among the meadow mice which were eating up the crops.

But in developing a vaccine against anthrax, a bacterial infection that was economically important because it was a major killer of sheep, Pasteur adapted a method he had used a year earlier to produce a vaccine against chicken cholera.

In the 1870s, the French chemist Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) applied his previous method of immunizing chickens against chicken cholera to anthrax, which affected cattle, and thereby aroused widespread interest in combating other diseases with the same approach.

But, alas, a lying, inflammatory report appeared in the daily paper, screaming that this Metchnikoff was sowing death-that chicken cholera could change into human cholera. . . . "I am overwhelmed with my researches," muttered Metchnikoff.

The difference between smallpox vaccination and anthrax or chicken cholera vaccination was that the weakened form of the latter two disease organisms had been "generated artificially", so a naturally weak form of the disease organism did not need to be found.

The offer attracted the attention of Louis Pasteur who proposed using the chicken cholera bacillus (now known as Pasteurella multocida), and while this measure was not proved practicable the association with Pasteur accelerated the introduction of microbiology into Australia.
