The results of the metagenomic analysis revealed a high phylogenetic and taxonomic diversity microbial community both luminal mucosal microflora bird intestinal microbiome. Analysis structure compared microbiomes showed similarities differences in relative abundance (%) bacteria at level order, class, genus.At type level, 24 categories were identified microbiome birds, class 35, order 75, famil...

The determination of members of the genus Salmonella present in small numbers in egg solids has always been somewhat uncertain. Among other things, the nature of the product tends to reduce the selectivity of the various media used for their detection. Also some of the enrichment media tend to inhibit the growth of certain types of Salmonella (Ayres, 1953; Banwart and Ayres, 1953; Hurlev and Ay...

The pathology induced in turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) by two capillariid nematodes, Baruscapillaria obsignata and Eucoleus annulatus is described together with data on prevalences, mean infection and range of worm burdens. B. obsignata occurred with a prevalence of 72.5% in the 40 examined hosts in a range of 2-461 nematodes and a mean intensity of 68.6, whereas E. annulatus was present in 2.5...

Mycoplasma anserisalpingitidis infection is associated with the inflammation of genital tract and cloaca, embryo lethality, decreased egg production in geese, leading to serious economic losses. M. has been detected mainly Central Eastern Europe, especially Hungary, but pathogen was identified recently China, predicting it’s worldwide occurrence. In this study, a novel multilocus sequence typin...

This study aimed to investigate Mycoplasma species in the lungs of 500 geese with pneumonia from Kars region (Turkey) via cultural and molecular methods. The samples were cultured on Frey’s Broth Agar media. To identify a Growth Inhibition Test was used. identification continued species-specific PCR sequence analysis which provide amplification genes dnaX, pcrA, rpoB, 16S rRNA gene, respectivel...

Abstract Purslane is a widespread wild vegetable with both medicinal and edible properties. It highly appreciated for its high nutritional value also considered as high-quality feed resource livestock poultry. In this study, Sanhuang broilers were used to investigate the effect of feeding purslane diets on growth performance in their gut microbiota. A total 48 birds good uniform weight selected...

Introduced species have been linked to declines of native species through mechanisms including intraguild predation and exploitative competition. However, coexistence among species may be promoted by niche partitioning if native species can use resources that the invasive species cannot. Previous research has shown that some strains of the aphid Aphis craccivora are toxic to a competitively dom...

In a parasitological study carried out in November 1994 the parasitic nematode Capillaria garfiai (Trichuridae: Capillariinae) was found lying in the lingual epithelium of a wild boar in Catalonia, northeast of Spain. The histological examination carried out showed no microscopical pathological changes in the parasitized tissue.

The emerging microbial source tracking (MST) methodologies aim to identify fecal contamination originating from domestic and wild animals, and from humans. Avian MST is especially challenging, primarily because the Aves class includes both domesticated and wild species with highly diverse habitats and dietary characteristics. The quest for specific fecal bacterial MST markers can be difficult w...
