Overview

Top of page

Haemorrhagic septicaemia is an important disease of cattle and buffaloes in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. It is caused by certain serotypes of Pasteurella multocida and is characterised by an acute, highly fatal septicaemia with high morbidity and mortality.

Haemorrhagic septicaemia is on the list of diseases notifiable to the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). For information on this disease from OIE, see the website: www.oie.int.

For further information, also see the datasheet on Pasteurella multocida infections.
