Description The outbreak of duck pasteurellosis caused by avian strains of Pasteurella multocida, which occur during monsoon period, is a serious problem with high mortality and morbidity affecting younger age groups. Medicinal plants reported to have antibacterial action were tested for their efficacy against Pasteurella multocida by in vitro methods. Successive extraction of whole plant materials of Leucas aspera, Vernonia cineria and Ocimum sanctum, leaves of Syzigium cumini, and bark of Polyalthia longifolia were performed with petroleum benzine, choloroform, acetone, methanol and water, and were tested for their antibacterial effect using microtitre plate technique (to estimate the minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC) and disc diffusion method (to estimate the zone of inhibition). The results from the above in vitro assay revealed the efficacy of different plant successive extracts against duck pasteurellosis.
