Isolation of members of the Haemophilus - Pasteurella - Actinobacillus group from feral rodents
46 feral rodents, including a common vole ( Microtus arvalis), house mice ( Mus musculus), muskrats ( Ondatra zibetica), house rats ( Rattus rattus) and brown rats ( R. norvegicus) were examined for bacteria of the Haemophilus- Pasteurella- Actinobacillus group. Haemophilus spp. (only M. musculus ex...
