“…In Japan, the first report of fowl cholera, documented by Takaya et al [19], was in myna birds (Eulabes intermedia) that had been imported from Thailand in 1976. Since then, fowl cholera has been reported in green pheasants [14], chickens [9], ducks [10], wild birds [4] and recently in turkeys [18]. However, there has been hitherto no report on this disease in quails.…”

ABSTRACT. In May 1994, about fifty Japanese quails out of ninety being bred for experimental purposes at Miyazaki University died of acute septicemia within a few days. At autopsy, there were no gross pathological lesions, however, severe bacteremia was observed in all cases. Bacterial examination revealed the presence of Pasteurella multocida in blood and several organs in pure culture and they were of Carter's capsular type A, Heddleston's type 3-4 and Namioka's type O-8-9. The LD 50 of bacteria in quails and mice were 4.3 × 10 4 cfu and 3.9 × 10 2 cfu, respectively. All of the three chickens experimentally infected with 4 × 10 4 of the isolate died within 20 hr after the infection and several bacteria were recovered from their blood and organs. This, to our knowledge, is the first report on an outbreak of fowl cholera in Japanese quails in Japan.

The high morbidity and mortality associated with this disease results in significant economic losses to the turkey industry. Transmission of the disease usually occurs following contamination of drinking water with mucous secretions firom infected birds. Experimentally, a small inoculum of virulent organisms (30-100) is capable of causing nearly 100% mortality within 48 hours. The organism is thought to enter the bird after colonizing the mucous membranes of the pharynx or upper air passages, eventually gaining access to the blood stream where it rapidly reaches very high numbers, often exceeding 10* ml "'of blood (109). However, the precise mechanisms of pathogenesis are still unclear.Serogroup A strains of P. multocida are the major cause of fowl cholera in poultry. CD44, an 85-lcDa transmembrane glycoprotein found on a wide variety of cell types, is one of several receptors capable of binding hyaluronic acid. Because CD44 is a hyaluronic acid receptor also associated with blood monocytes (23,43), it is my hypothesis that CD44 is involved in adhesion of serogroup A strains of P. multocida to turkey peripheral blood monocytes. Other reports indicate that freshly isolated human peripheral blood monocytes do not bind soluble hyaluronic acid; however, increased mucopolysaccharide binding occurs in vitro after 8 to 16hours of incubation (77) or after exposure to phorbol myristate acetate (79). Similarly, in septicemic cases of fowl cholera, minimal association occurs between peripheral blood monocytes and capsulated strai...
