Serologic response of turkeys to an agent associated with infectious enteritis (bluecomb).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The serologic response of turkey poults to an infectious enteritis (bluecomb disease) agent was analyzed. Serum samples collected from poults on post-inoculation days 3, 7, 14, and 21 were compared to serum from normal poults by electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis. Albumin concentrations were decreased whereas alpha and gamma globulins were increased during the disease. Qualitative and quantitative changes occurred in all migration zones.

Poult enteritis complex (PEC) is a general term that encompasses the infectious intestinal diseases of young turkeys. Some diseases, such as coronaviral enteritis and stunting syndrome, are relatively well characterised, while others, such as transmissible viral enteritis, poult growth depression and poult enteritis mortality syndrome, remain ill-defined. All forms of PEC are multifactorial, tr...

From 2003 to 2006, samples of intestinal content and spleens from 10-day-old to 6-week-old fattening turkeys showing clinical signs of enteritis were analyzed by specific PCR and RT-PCRs for detection of haemorrhagic enteritis virus (HEV), avian reovirus (ARV), turkey astrovirus-2 (TastV-2), and turkey coronavirus (TCV). A total of 23 flocks from 6 farms were included in the study. Specific seq...
متن کاملComparison of Pathogenicity and Serologic Response of Four Commercial Infectious Bursal Disease Live Vaccines.
Various commercial vaccines for immunization of broiler chickens against infectious bursal disease (IBD) are available, so it would be appropriate to compare the pathogenicity and immune response of chickens to these vaccines. In this study the pathogenicity and serologic response of four IBD vaccines, cloned D78®, Bursine-2®, Bursimune® and Cevac Gambo-L®, were evaluated in specific pathogen f...
متن کاملInfectious disease survey of Rio Grande wild turkeys in the Edwards Plateau of Texas.
State wildlife agencies have translocated thousands of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) since the 1930s to reestablish this species. Because of threats to the domestic poultry industry and wild birds, screening for selected infectious agents has become routine since the early 1980s. One of the principal sources for Rio Grande wild turkeys (M. gallopavo intermedia) for translocation purposes w...
