DISEASES IN POULTRY Flashcards
List of Viral Diseases in Poultry
- New Castle Disease
- Infectious Bursal Disease
- Infectious Bronchitis
- Infectious Laryngotracheitis
- Fowl Pox
- Egg Drop Syndrome
- Lymphoid Leucosis
- Merek’s Disease
- Avian Encephalomyelitis
- Malabsorption syndrome
- is a highly contagious viral disease affecting poultry, causing respiratory, nervous, and digestive symptoms, often leading to high mortality rates.
New Castle Disease (NCD)
- is a highly contagious viral disease affecting young chickens, causing immune suppression and increasing susceptibility to other infections.
Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD)
- is a highly contagious respiratory disease in chickens, causing respiratory distress, decreased egg production, and potential kidney damage.
Infectious Bronchitis (IB)
- a highly contagious respiratory disease affecting chickens, causing severe inflammation of the larynx and trachea, leading to respiratory distress, coughing, and potential death.
Infectious Laryngotracheitis
- a viral disease affecting poultry, causing skin lesions and potentially affecting the respiratory tract, leading to decreased egg production and weight loss.
Fowl Pox (avian pox) (FP)
-is a viral disease affecting laying hens, causing thin-shelled, misshapen eggs that easily break.
Egg Drop Syndrome (EDS)
-is a viral disease affecting laying hens, causing thin-shelled, misshapen eggs that easily break.
Egg Drop Syndrome (EDS)
- a viral disease affecting chickens, causing tumors in various organs, including the liver, spleen, and kidneys, leading to decreased egg production and increased mortality.
Lymphoid Leucosis
- is a highly contagious viral disease affecting poultry, causing nerve damage, organ tumors, and paralysis, leading to significant economic losses.
Merek’s Disease
- is a viral disease affecting young poultry, causing neurological symptoms like tremors, ataxia, and paralysis, often leading to significant mortality.
Avian Encephalomyelitis
- (caused by Pasteurella multocida) swollen joints and wattles, darkened heads (fowl cholera). bacterial disease affecting poultry, causing respiratory infections, airsacculitis, and septicemia, often leading to significant mortality.
Avian Pasteurollosis
- (caused by E. coli)- a general term for bacteria belonging to the Escherichia coli group, which can cause various diseases in poultry, including respiratory infections and enteric diseases.
Colibacillus
- (caused by Haemophilus gallinarum)is a highly contagious bacterial disease affecting chickens, causing respiratory symptoms like nasal discharge, sneezing, and facial swelling.
Infectious Coryza
- is a bacterial disease affecting poultry, causing various symptoms like respiratory distress, joint inflammation, and neurological disorders.
Spirochaetosis
- (caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum) leading to respiratory distress, decreased growth, and reduced egg production.
Chronic Respiratory Disease
- (caused by Salmonella gallinarum)a bacterial disease affecting poultry,with white-yellowish diarrhea causing systemic infection, leading to high mortality rates, especially in young birds.
Fowl Typhoid
List of Bacterial Diseases in Poultry
- Avian Pasteurollosis
- Colibacillus
- Infectious Coryza
- Spirochaetosis
- Chronic Respiratory Disease
- Fowl Typhoid
a condition where excess fluid accumulates in the abdominal cavity, often caused by heart failure due to inadequate oxygen supply.
Ascites
- a metabolic disorder characterized by excessive fat accumulation in the liver, often leading to liver damage and sudden death.
Fatty Liver Syndrome
- is a bacterial disease affecting poultry, primarily young chicks, causing high mortality rates and various symptoms like weakness, diarrhea, and reduced growth.
Salmonella Pullorum
- a chronic bacterial infection affecting poultry, causing organ damage, weight loss, and reduced egg production.
Avian Tuberculosis
- also known as gangrenous dermatitis, is a bacterial infection affecting poultry, causing skin lesions and tissue necrosis, often leading to significant mortality.
Wing Rot
- an inflammation of the joints in poultry, often caused by bacterial or viral infections, leading to lameness, swelling, and reduced productivity.
Synovitis
- a localized collection of pus beneath the skin, often caused by bacterial infection
Subdermal Abscess
