+Systemic infection is common. However, infection may also become localised in joints and skin in chronic cases. In addition, localised infection of the oviduct of young layers can lead to permanent damage to the developing reproductive tract. This will prevent the proper formation or passage of eggs and result in the birds becoming "blind layers" when they grow up.
 Disease is then '''multisystemic''' and can comprise of '''greenish [[Diarrhoea|diarrhoea]]''', pyrexia, anorexia, growth retardation, nasal discharge, coughing, restlessness, polydipsia, '''ataxia, hypermetria, weakness, tremors''' and limb swelling. Nervous signs develop when the organism crosses the blood:brain barrier. Conjunctivitis, chemosis, scleral inflammation and ocular discharge sometimes also occur.  In late disease, young birds may suffer from characteristic '''convulsions'''.

+'''High mortality up to 75% occurs in ducklings and goslings'''. In most cases, death occurs within 12-24h of the onset of clinical signs.
 ==Diagnosis==
 Presumptive diagnosis is often made from '''history, clinical signs and lesions''', based upon the nervous signs and fibrinous pericardial, perihepatic, meningeal and respiratory lesions and exudate. Although suggestive, these are not specific.
-''R. anatipestifer'' can be easily isolated, from brain, heart blood, air sacs, liver or oviduct and grows on '''soy media enriched with sheep blood or bovine serum''' forming non-haemolytic colonies. Isolates can then be serotyped with '''agglutination and agar gel precipitation'''.<ref>Sandhu, T., Harry, E. G (1981) '''Serotypes of ''Pasteurella anatipestifer'' isolated from commercial White Pekin ducks in the United States'''. ''Avian Diseases'', 25:497-502.</ref>

 '''[[ELISA testing|ELISA]] and serum tube [[agglutination]]''' can be used for antibody detection, of which ELISA is the most sensitive.
