Systemic disease - general symptoms Diarrhea - dehydration, WL Unable to fly, limping Breeding difficulties PU/PD
Salmonella in Pigeons - Acute Paratyphyus
Mainly during breeding
Salmonella in Pigeons - Chronic Paratyphyus
One wing hanging down
Intermittent excretions
Salmonella in Pigeons - Treatment
Antimicrobials
Immune therapy - inactivated vaccine only reduces severity of disease
Salmonella in Poultry - Typhoid/paratyphoid Serotypes
Pullorum
Gallinarum
Pullorum + Gallinarum
Antigenically the same (similar to enteriditis)
REPORTABLE
Rare in Europe and America
S. Pullorum Characteristics
Chicken, Turkey, Pheasant Younger animals (
S. Pullorum Diagnosis
Culture
Serology
S. Pullorum Treatment
Antibiotics - doesn’t eliminate (intracellular)
S. Gallinarum - Fowl Typhoid - Characteristics
Most birds
Older animals
S. Gallinarum - Fowl Typhoid - Symptoms
Hyperacute mortality - haemolytic anemia
Acute/subacute - increase mortality up to 30%
S. Enterica ssp. Arizonae Characteristics
Mainly USA
Turkeys
Younger birds (Mortality up to 50%)
Paratyphoid - S. Enteriditis
Zoonotic - undercooked, raw egg
Decreased zoonosis after vaccination in Europe
