Clinical signs of fowl paratyphoid are frequently seen in the laying period
T
Fowl paratyphoid is limited to the gut, there is no septicaemia
F
young chicken:
- septicaemia, like fowl typhoid
- duck, geese: purulent conjunctivitis, weak legs, incoordination
Fowl paratyphoid has been eradicated in Europe
F
WORLDWIDE, FREQUENT
Agent of fowl paratyphoid can cause generalised disease.
T
Some viral infections can predispose animals to fowl paratyphoid
T
infective:
- bursitis, duck hepatitis
- Derzsy-disease (complication)
- coccidiosis
salmonella avium is the main aetiological agent of fowl paratyphoid
F
- S. Enteritidis

- S. Hadar, S. Anatum
- S. Infantis, S. Virchow
Germinative infection can occur in the case of fowl paratyphoid:
T
- horizontal – vertical infection
- germinative / hatchery / feed
Fowl paratyphoid is caused by facultatively pathogenic salmonellae
T
Infectious bursitis can predispose chicken to fowl paratyphoid.
T
infective:
