Table 3 Description of scores for disease-related traits: abscess and bacteria
From: Genetic parameters of resistance to pasteurellosis using novel response traits in rabbits
| Score | Abscess | Bacteria |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | No signs of abscess | No growth of Pasteurella in the culture from the tissue samples |
| 1 | Lesions observed at inoculation site | Growth of Pasteurella in the culture from abscess only |
| 2 | Lesions also observed on front part of the body | Growth of Pasteurella in the culture from the tissue samples of one organ |
| 3 | Lesions also disseminated on rear part of the body (abdomen, rear legs) | Growth of Pasteurella in the culture from the tissue samples of two organs |
| 4 | Lesions also observed inside organs and cavities | Growth of Pasteurella in the culture from the tissue samples of all organs |
