Molecular and Histopathological Characterization of Inclusion Body Hepatitis (IBH) in Broiler Chickens in Isfahan Province
Authors
Abstract:
Background and Aims: The Inclusion Body Hepatitis disease (IBH) is one of the prevalent illnesses in our country these days and reported from different regions of Iran. In addition to its fatality, the importance of this disease is disturbing the vaccination program in poultry, especially broiler chickens, against other diseases like infectious bursal disease (IBD) and Newcastle disease (ND). This study aimed to determine the molecular phylogenetic and histopathological analysis of IBH in the Kashan region (Isfahan province). Materials and Methods: Liver samples collected from infected chickens examined using PCR and histopathological procedure. Phylogenetic analysis was done by drawing a phylogenetic tree. Results: All samples were positive with PCR. Also, the samples were investigated by histopathological procedure, and congestion, hemorrhage, focal necrosis, and intranuclear inclusion bodies in the hepatocytes were observed. Conclusion: According to the phylogenetic analysis, the Iranian isolate in this research was similar to European countrieschr('39') isolates. Other aspects of IBH disease like pathogenesis and epidemiology should be researched.

Molecular identification of aviadenoviruses in broiler chickens suspected to inclusion body hepatitis in Golestan province, Iran
Background: Fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs) are distributed widely throughout the world, and domestic avian species of all ages are susceptible. Fowl aviadenoviruses (FAdVs) can be separated into 5 different species (A-E) with various genotypes and 12 serotypes. Some geno- or serotypes induce hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HPS), inclusion body hepatitis (IBH), and adenoviral gizzard erosion (AG...

An outbreak of inclusion body hepatitis was noticed in 20% of the population of a flock of 20000 broiler chickens. The affected 14-day-old birds experienced 10% mortality during a period of one week. On 39 and 44 days of age, clinical infectious bursal disease and Newcastle disease with 5% and 15% mortalities occurred in the flock, respectively. Clinical signs of affected birds included depress...
