[ 4 ] - The efficacy of a poultry commercial anticoccidial vaccine in experimental challenge with Eimeria field isolates
BACKGROUND: The control of coccidiosis in poultry industryis dominated by prophylactic chemotherapy; however,drug resistance is a serious problem. Alternative control methodssuch as vaccination have been accepted as a practical method forcontrolling coccidiosis in chickens. Considering the immunologicalvariation of Eimeria strains, the efficacy of live coccidiosisvaccines may be compromised. OB...

[ 10 ] - عفونت های ویروسی رایج در طب پرندگان خانگی و وحشی در ایران (دوازده سال تجربه بالینی و آزمایشگاهی)
تجربه بیش از یک دهه طبابت در زمینه پرندگان تأیید نموده است که مهمترین بیماریهای این دسته از حیوانات ناشی از سوء مدیریت و عدم تأمین شرایط زیستی مناسب در اسارت بوده است. بیماریهای عفونی هم معمولاً بصورت ثانویه و متعاقب عوارض مدیریتی و تغذیهای منجر به تضعیف سیستم ایمنی بروز مینمایند. در این میان عفونتهای ویروسی مستثنی بوده و باعث بیماری های فراگیر و حتی منجر به تلفات هم بصورت تکگیر در پرندگان خا...
[ 11 ] - Molecular survey of avian circoviruses in some non-psittacine birds and detection of a novel canary circovirus in a pigeon
