About 20 million waterfowl the each year in North America from avian cholera, which is caused by the bacterium Pasteurella multocida (Blanchong et al. 2006). Over 100 species have been known to be infected. Epizootics are typically explosive and involve hundreds and sometimes thousands of birds. There is high variation from year to year in the incidence of this disease. Plan a research program to determine the effects of avian cholera on a species of duck. What are the key questions you need to answer to be able to control this disease?
