- Abstract
<em>Pasteurella pneumotropica</em> infection in mice is recorded in Australia. The most probable explanation for its occurrence would appear to be that it existed as a latent infection when C57 black mice were introduced into the country. There was no evidence of its presence in the colony for more than two years. That this organism, in addition to latent infection, may cause a natural epidemic in adult breeding mice and their litters with sterility, chronic pneumonia and death is shown by our experience. There is no evidence at present of spread to rabbits or guinea-pigs kept in close proximity to the imported mice, but local mice showed evidence of latent infection after 3 years. The use of chloramphenicol and of foster mothers to eliminate the infection is described.
