have both been obtained from septicaemia and cases of
mortality in pinnipeds and cetaceans (Dunn et al., 2001;
Howard et al., 1983; Sweeney, 1978; Sweeney & Ridgway,
1975). However, methods for identification were not stated
in these reports and since M. haemolytica has often been
misidentified (Angen et al., 1999; Collins et al., 1981), it is
not unlikely that isolated bacteria belonged to other
members of the Pasteurellaceae. Pasteurella species have
been isolated from conjunctiva and wounds of stranded
harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) (Lockwood et al., 2006).
