abstract

infectious bronchitis (ib) and newcastle disease (nd) are highly contagious and the most economically important diseases of the poultry affecting respiratory tract and causing economic losses in poultry industry throughout the world. in the present study, the simultaneous detection and differentiation of causative agents of these diseases were investigated using duplex-rt-pcr. rna was extracted from vaccinal and reference strains of infectious bronchitis virus (ibv) and newcastle disease virus (ndv) and then cdna was synthesized. using two universal primer sets for detection of ibv and ndv, the duplex-rt-pcr was developed. in order to assess the efficiency of the developed duplex rt-pcr, a number of 12 broiler farms with the symptoms of respiratory tract infection was sampled (trachea, lung and kidney were sampled from affected birds suspicious for ibv and ndv infections). after rna extraction from tissues and cdna synthesis, the presence of ibv and ndv genome were investigated using duplex-pcr. the results showed that three of twelve examined broiler farms were positive for ibv and two farms were positive for ndv and ibv. the results revealed that the duplex-rt-pcr is a quick and sensitive procedure for simultaneously detecting ibv and ndv in birds with respiratory infections.

Synbiotic enhances immune responses against infectious bronchitis, infectious bursal disease, Newcastle disease and avian influenza in broiler chickens

Increased susceptibility of birds to avian pathogens in intensive husbandry system has emphasized on necessity of improvement of innate and specific immune responses of birds by the fast establishment of a beneficial microflora and immune stimulator factors to guarantee healthy and low-price products. During this study, 192 one-day-old broiler chicks (Ross-380) in four groups with three replica...

Detection of Avian Encephalomyelitis Virus in Broiler Chickens in Iran Using RT-PCR and Histopathological Methods

Avian encephalomyelitis is caused by a Tremovirus and primarily affects chickens. The virus can infect young chicks and cause nervous symptoms. Vaccines are used to control the disease in breeders. Recently, the occurrence of the disease is causing concern in the poultry industry. In the present study, we report a case of avian encephalomyelitis in one broiler farm in Kashan (center of Iran). T...
