food safety diseases
WHAT DISEASE: disease of young chickens that is within the herpes virus group, concentrates in feather follicles, and aerosols. mortality can vary depending on the strain. there is a vaccination for it.
mareks disease
describe mareks disease
disease of young chickens that is within the herpes virus group, concentrates in feather follicles, and aerosols. mortality can vary depending on the strain. there is a vaccination for it.
WHAT DISEASE: it is a viral disease that is highly pathogenic that affects the respiratory system. birds are carriers for life. there is an effective vaccine that can be given as an eye drop, in water or as spray.
infectious laryngotracheitis (LIT)
describe infectious laryngotracheitis (LIT)
it is a viral disease that is highly pathogenic that affects the respiratory system. birds are carriers for life. there is an effective vaccine that can be given as an eye drop, in water or as spray.
WHAT DISEASE: an extremely contagious disease that only effects chickens. it is more problematic in the layer industry causing coughing, sneezing, “rales”/rattling, and small eggs with a soft shell and irregular shape
infectious bronchitis
describe infectious bronchitis
an extremely contagious disease that only effects chickens. it is more problematic in the layer industry causing coughing, sneezing, “rales”/rattling, and small eggs with a soft shell and irregular shape
what disease would cause eggs to look like this:
infectious bronchitis
WHAT DISEASE: this disease is a contagious viral infection that is transmitted by contaminated equipment, shoes, clothing, and free-flying birds. it causes respiratory symptoms and then nervous. mortality greatly varies. the most severe strain is not in the US. there is a vaccination for it.
Newcastle disease
describe Newcastle disease
this disease is a contagious viral infection that is transmitted by contaminated equipment, shoes, clothing, and free-flying birds. it causes respiratory symptoms and then nervous. mortality greatly varies. the most severe strain is not in the US. there is a vaccination for it.
WHAT DISEASE: a viral disease (Type A) that wild fowl are carriers for and highly contagious. There are various levels of symptoms, one of which is a drop in egg production. it is a zoonotic disease.
avian influenza
describe avian influenza
a viral disease (Type A) that wild fowl are carriers for and highly contagious. There are various levels of symptoms, one of which is a drop in egg production. it is a zoonotic disease.
WHAT DISEASE: a highly contagious disease found in young chickens that decreases their immune development. they can get the disease through direct contact transmission and contamination. symptoms include ruffled feathers, slight tremor, strained defecation and when forced to stand have an unsteady gait
gumboro (infectious burial disease)
describe gumboro (infectious burial disease)
WHAT DISEASE: a viral disease that infects both chickens and turkeys. transmission occurs via contact with skin abrasions and insects can be vectors. there are two forms, one called cutaneous where lesions are on unfeathered skin and the other is diphtheritic where the lesions on upper GI and respiratory systems. vaccination is the best control.
fowl pox
describe fowl pox
a viral disease that infects both chickens and turkeys. transmission occurs via contact with skin abrasions and insects can be vectors. there are two forms, one called cutaneous where lesions are on unfeathered skin and the other is diphtheritic where the lesions on upper GI and respiratory systems. vaccination is the best control.
cutaneous fowl pox
lesions on unfeathered skin
diphtheritic fowl pox
lesions on upper GI and respiratory systems
WHAT DISEASE: a protozoal disease that causes necrotic enteritis and bloody diarrhea. this is transferred by fecal-oral route. there is a vaccination for this disease to anti-coccidial drugs
coccidiosis
describe coccidiosis
a protozoal disease that causes necrotic enteritis and bloody diarrhea. this is transferred by fecal-oral route. there is a vaccination for this disease to anti-coccidial drugs
what are common food borne illnesses?
- salmonella
- E. coli
- campylobacter (campy)
- listeria
_________ is the #1 cause of food borne deaths
listeria
