Abstract

Bordetella bronchiseptica was isolated from 12 cases of purulent bronchopneumonia from a captive koala colony near Brisbane, Queensland. An initial epizootic in March 1967 causing 13% mortality was followed by annual outbreaks causing 2% mortality usually in newly weaned and aged koalas in late winter to early spring. High population density and a low plane of nutrition in winter were thought to predispose to the occurrence of the disease.

摘要

从昆士兰州布里斯班附近一个圈养的考拉种群中的12例化脓性支气管肺炎病例中分离出支气管败血波氏杆菌。1967年3月首次发生的 epizootic 造成了13%的死亡率，随后每年都会爆发，通常在冬末至早春新断奶和老龄考拉中造成2%的死亡率。冬季高种群密度和低营养水平被认为易引发该病的发生。
