Abstract

An enzootic of hemorrhagic pneumonia was found on a farm of 90, 000 mink in Nemuro-shi, Hokkaido. More than 15, 000 kittens of 55, 000 succumbed to the disease. The prominent clinical findings were dyspnea, hemoptysis and epistaxis.Pseudomonasaeruginosawas isolated from visceral organs. It was also isolated from the raw ingredients of feed. It was comparatively warm and humid in the district. Inspection revealed that cleaning and disinfection of the farm facilities were insufficient. In the following years, the disease was controled by the use of a halogen disinfectant and vaccination of kittens withP.aeruginosamulticomponent vaccine.
