Outbreak of pasteurellosis among wintering and breeding common elders Somateria mollissima in Denmark
In 1996, an epizootic occurred among wintering and breeding common eiders Somateria mollissima in southwest Kattegat, Denmark, causing the death of at least 900 birds during late winter, and of a total of 3,146 females in five local breeding colonies, corresponding to 35-95% of the females present w...
