Transmission of Campylobacter to humans has been prominently associated with mishandling or improperly preparing contaminated poultry carcasses. The number of organisms per carcass represents an important measure of human exposure to the agent. Therefore, we wished to estimate this public exposure over 1 yr among Italian broiler carcasses. We sampled 213 broiler carcasses from rinse water sampl...

Antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli to modern beta-lactam antibiotics due to the production of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and/or plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamases (AmpC) represents an emerging and increasing resistance problem that dramatically limits therapeutic options in both human and veterinary medicine. The presence of ESBL/AmpC genes in commensal E. coli from f...

While measures to control carcass contamination with Salmonella at the processing plant have been implemented with some success, on-farm interventions that reduce Salmonella prevalence in meat birds entering the processing plant have not translated well on a commercial scale. We determined the impact of Salmonella vaccination on commercial poultry operations by monitoring four vaccinated and fo...

salmonella enteritidis (se) is frequently isolated from poultry and humans. chicken meat and egg are two important sources of se infection for humans. this study was conducted to detect the se infection in iranian poultry farms using serological methods. a number of 8208 serum samples were provided from 171 poultry flocks (pullet, commercial layer, broiler breeder, layer breeder, grandparent br...

In this context, aim study was design seroprevalence map based on business intelligence for avian paramyxovirus type 1 (APMV-1) broilers Valencia Community (eastern Spain). This tool consists software mapping data collection, analysis repr...

The control of Salmonella in the poultry production chain combined with biosecurity measures is an important tool to maintain and guarantee sanitary status Brazilian flocks. aim this work was compare official laboratory data on molecular typification isolates from breeding flocks different states between 2016 2018 identify category most positive flocks, light current legislation. Surveillance s...

DEFINITION Ascites secondary to pulmonary hypertension syndrome (PHS) is one of the most important causes of mortality in broiler chicken flocks. It is associated with rapid growth and a high metabolic rate. OCCURRENCE Ascites occurs worldwide in rapidly growing broiler chicken flocks. HISTORICAL INFORMATION Ascites was first reported in 1968 in broiler chickens raised at a high altitude. Howev...

In the European Union (EU), targets are being set for the reduction of certain zoonotic Salmonella serovars in different animal populations, including poultry populations, within the framework of Regulation (EC) No. 2160/2003 on the control of zoonoses. For a three-year transitional period, the EU targets were to cover only Salmonella Enteritidis and S. Typhimurium (and in addition S. Hadar, S....

According to the European Food Safety Authority, salmonellosis is still one of the main causes of infectious foodborne gastroenteritis in humans. Broilers are an important source of salmonellosis after eggs and pork. Between 1987 and 1999 the trend of human salmonellosis incidence in Belgium increased constantly. However, from 2000 until 2005 a decrease in human cases was observed, probably fol...

the presence of helicobacter pullorum in intestinal tract of broiler chickens may be a potential risk for human health. in this study, a total of 100 caecal samples of broilers carcasses from 20 flocks at a poultry abattoir in mashhad suburb were tested for the presence of h. pullorum using modified conventional culture method by combination of culturing on brucella sheep blood agar and a filte...
