Serological Profile of Bacterial Pathogens in Wild and Captive Marine Mammals
There is an increasing body of knowledge on the microbial flora of captive and wild marine mammals. The expense and practically, however, of isolation and identification of pathogens indicate that sero-surveys may be a viable alternative. In the present study, Salmonella sp., Past. multocida, Ery. r...
