Gizzarditis caused by worms
disease of geese
Pathogen: Amidostomum anseris
Ulcerative enteritis
quail disease
Necrotic enteritis
Clostridium perfringens A or C Small intestine (jejunum and ileum, sometimes in caecum)
Ulcerative enteritis
Clostridium colinum
1-3 mm wide red ulcers
– in the small- and large intestines
– Surrounded by a necrotic ring + fibrin
Bacterial diseases accompanied with enteritis
Fowl typhoid/pullorum disease – salmonellosis – Fowlcholera – Yersiniosis – Enteric form of Coli-granulomatosis • Hjärre-disease – Intestinal lesions in case of tuberculosis
tuberculosis
Mycobacterium avium infection: per os primary complex: • in the mucous membrane of the intestine – Followed by early generalization
Viral enteritides
Parvovirus enteritis • Adenovirus enteritis • Astrovirus enteritis • Reovirus enteritis • Rotavirus enteritis • Coronavirus enteritis • PEMS – poult enteritis mortality syndrome
Viral diseases accompanied with
enteritis
Newcastle disease • Avian influenza • Duck plague, duck viral enteritis • Hemorrhagic enteritis of turkey – adenovirus enteritis
Newcastle disease
velogenic strains
– fatal viraemia in all age
• mesogenic strains
– In young chicks:
• viraemia
• respiratory disease
– adult:
• nervous symptoms
• Layers: hypopigmented eggs
lentogenic and apathogen strains
– Mild disease (helps secondary pathogens)
– Vaccine production
Newcastle disease Infection
– inhalation (aerosol)
– through conjunctiva
– per os
ND velogen-viscerotrop form
– viraemia
– lesions in the intestines
– nervous signs
multiple haemorrhages Intestinal lesions conjuctivitis • rhinitis • cyanotic appendices on the head • swelling of the tissues around the eyes and neck • brain and spinal cord lesions
ND velogen- neurotropic form
– viraemia
– respiratory lesions
– nervous signs
No intestinal lesions are seen!
Newcastle disease
• Malfunction of the oviduct in layers
seen both in the velogen-viscerotrop and in the velogen-pneumotrop forms
Avian influenza infection:
– direct contact, saliva
– respiratory discharge, aerogenous
– virus contaminated water or feed, per os
– the virus is spread by wild birds
Avian influenza main features and pathology
viraemia – general febrile status • haemorrhages – respiratory – GI – genital – nervous – rapid death – (even 100%)
Pathology:
• conjunctivitis,
lacrimation
• edema of the head • cyanotic wattles
Duck plague
duck viral enteritis Alphaherpesvirinae duck enteritis virus (DEV) lifelong carrier state and shedding infection: – direct contant – fomites – Live water
Duck plague replication site of virus
in the lymph follicles, in the macrophages
viraemia follows
– virus reaches all the organs
• liver, mucous membranes, immune organs
Duck plague Pathology:
multiple hemorrhages
– edema in the subcutaneous connective tissue
necrotic foci in the liver : nuclear inclusion bodies in the esophagus and cloaca too.
phallus necrosis.
