Test 1: lecture 2 Flashcards
4 common respiratory diseases of poultry
Infectious Laryngotracheitis
Avian Pox
Infectious Bronchitis
Mycoplasma gallisepticum (bacteria like organism)
infectious laryngeotracheitis is caused by
Gallid herpesvirus type 1 (GaHV-1)
carrier state in the trachea and trigeminal ganglia
attacks chicken, pheasant and peacocks
symptoms of infectious laryngotracheitis
decrease in egg production
(no shell quality issues)
high mortality
mild:
mild respiratory disease
conjunctivitis
mucus in trachea
severe:
caseous material or hemorrhage in trachea
peeling of lining of epithelium
intranuclear inclusions
occurs in 3 weeks or older birds
peeling of epithelium and caseous material and hemorrhage in the trachea with no shell quality issues in birds older then 3 weeks old
infectious laryngotracheitis
herpes virus
what disease
INFECTIOUS LARYNGOTRACHEITIS
caused by herpes virus
causes caseous material, hemorrhage and peeling of epithelial layer of trachea
causes respiratory disease, conjunctivitis
older then 3 weeks old
intranuclear inclusion
decreased egg production
what respiratory disease has intranuclear inclusions
infectious laryngotracheitis
herpes virus
transmission of infectious laryngotracheitis
poor biosecurity
can flare up with stress
no treatment caused by herpes virus
prevention of infectious laryngotracheitis
vaccination of long lived birds (breeders and layers)
maternal antibodies not protective
vectored not as effective as killed or live vaccine
CEO: eyedrop, spray or water; can revert
to virulence and spread; carrier state
TCO: eyedrop, “no spread”; carrier state; low potential to revert to virulence
Recombinant pox vectored or HVT vectored (Marek’s vaccine): injection or in ovo – does not cause a carrier state; no increase in pathogenicity; no transmission between birds
types of vaccines for infectious laryngotracheitis
vaccines grown in chicken embryo origin (CEO) and Tissue Culture Origin (TCO)
engineered vaccines: pox vector (does not work as well)
dry pox
types of poxvirus infect —
different species
Turkey pox / turkeys
* Fowl pox / chickens
* Quail pox / quail
* Pigeon pox / pigeons
two forms of avian pox
Diphtheritic (wet pox) – trachea/esophagus
Cutaneous (dry pox)
histopath of avian pox
Intracytoplasmic
eosinophilic inclusion bodies
what respiratory disease has Intracytoplasmic eosinophilic inclusion bodies
avian pox
transmission of avian pox
horizontal
Laceration/injury of the skin
Biting insects: e.g., mosquitoes
Mechanical transmission: Artificial
Insemination in turkeys
Contaminated environment - scabs
