Abstract: The article discusses a small outbreak of actinobacillosis in adult suckler cows presenting primarily with respiratory tract involvement in Great Britain. Clinical signs of the disease were mentioned, which include stertorous respiratory noise, nasal discharge and parotid lymph node swelling. It also notes that affected cattle had symptoms of chronic rhinitis, and histological examination of the turbinates indicated lesions typical of actinobacillosis caused by Actinobacillus lignieresii.
