Abstract

As human contact with domestic and wild animals increases, zoonotic infectious diseases are becoming increasingly common. Pasteurella multocida, as one of the important pathogens, cannot be ignored due to its high prevalence in animal populations and potential threat to human health. This paper reviews the identification and classification methods of P. multocida and analyzes in detail its prevalence and host specificity in animals and humans, as well as the pathological changes and immune responses after infection. This paper offers a reference for fully understanding the basic characteristics and transmission rules of P. multocida and optimizing the prevention and treatment of P. multocida infection.
