Q

What did the poultry industry do to address pullorum disease?

A

devleoped an improvemnet plant that allowed them to control hatchery disseminated disease. It is now eradicated fromm commercial poultry in US but is still in back yard flocks

Q

How is salmonella pullorum primarily spread?

A
  1. through infected eggs laid by carrier hens, which then transmit the organism laterally in the hatchery.
  2. Adults can also have slow lateral spread. Contamination of eggs–penetration can also occur
  3. cannibalism

Q

What is paratyhoid infection?

A

an acute or chonic disease of poultry, many other birds, and mammals caused by one of a large group of salmonellae that are not host secific

17
Q

What age group is most severely affected with paratyphoid?

A

the young

18
Q

What are two speccies of salmonella that cause paratyphoid?

A

enteridis, typhimurium

19
Q

What is responsible for the pathogenic effects of paratyphoid salmonellosis?

A

endotoxin

20
Q

Where do paratyphoid organisms often localize to?

A

the intestine or gallbladder of carriers

21
Q

How does infection of young birds occur?

A

fecal contamination of egg shells and penetration into eggs

22
Q

How do carriers shed paratyphoid salmonella?

A

in the feces

23
Q

Does vertical transmission occur with paratyphoid salmonella?

A

yes. The paratyphoid organisms can localize to the ovary and result in transovarian transmission

24
Q

What non-poultry species is a reservoir for paratyphoid salmonella?

A

rodents

25
Q

Can birds get salmonella from contaminated animal proteins?

A

yes (contamination after processing)

26
Q

What are the clinical signs of paratyphoid?

A
  1. only disease in young birds
  2. somnolence, profuse diarrhea, dehydration, pasting/wetting of vent, drooping wings, shivering, huddling near heat sources
  3. high morbidity and mortality (variable)
27
Q

What are lesions of paratyphoid salmonella?

A
  1. few lesions if septicemia
  2. dehydration, marked enteritis
  3. liver lesion
  4. omphalitis
  5. raised plaques in intestinal mucosa and cheesy cecal cores
28
Q

How is paratyphoid diagnosed??

A

isolation from multiple organisms. Type the organism

29
Q

How is paratyphoid controlled?

A
  1. bacteirologic monitoring
  2. sell birds to eliminate carriers
  3. thoroughly clean/disinfect premise
  4. keep nests clean
  5. gather eggs frequently, sanitize
  6. fumigate eggs
  7. raise new broods as al in all out
  8. no contact with wild birds, rodents, reptiles
  9. uncontaminated food protein
  10. can check for carriers
  11. inoculate 1 day chicks with antibiotics
  12. bacterin against enteritidis
