Assessing the Seroprevalence Against Avian Pneumovirus and Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale in Broilers in Uruguay
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this study was to estimate the true prevalence of individual chickens serologically test-positive against avian pneumovirus and Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale in Uruguay. Seventeen different broiler farms existed in three different provinces in Uruguay were recruited and the 1861 broilers were investigated. Individual-chicken sera were analyzed using a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The overall true seroprevalence was 1.9% [95% Bayesian Credible Interval (BCI): <1-7.4%] and less than 0.1% (95% BCI: 0-<0.1%) against avian pneumovirus and Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale, respectively. The result seroprevalence was relatively lower than that reported by other authors in a neighbouring country Argentina where the infection of these diseases was recently observed. This difference was discussed.

Seroprevalence and identification of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale from broiler and broiler breeder flocks in Thailand.
Ornithobacteriosis is an infectious disease of avian species that has been reported in almost all countries around the world, except Thailand. The objectives of this study were to determine the seroprevalence of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and to isolate and identify ORT in broilers and broiler breeders in Thailand. Chicken antibodies had been randomly checked from 17 farms (19 flocks...
متن کاملVaccination of chickens against Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale infection.
Vaccination of young broilers with inactivated vaccines against experimental Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale challenge was found to be effective, but the results of vaccination were influenced, in a negative way, by the presence of maternal antibodies. The use of a strong adjuvant, such as mineral oil, in a bacterin was necessary to obtain good protection when maternal antibodies were present. ...
متن کاملLongitudinal monitoring for respiratory pathogens in broiler chickens reveals co-infection of Chlamydia psittaci and Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale.
Chlamydia psittaci is prevalent in broiler chicken production. However, the role of C. psittaci in the respiratory disease complex needs to be clarified. Our aim was to identify the time point when a C. psittaci infection appeared on a broiler farm and to examine the presence of other respiratory pathogens at that time. We focused on the 'major' respiratory pathogens occurring in Belgian broile...

Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) has been identified as one of the respiratory bacterial pathogens in turkey and chicken flocks. Four live birds displaying severe torticollis were submitted from a 13-week-old commercial broiler breeder chicken flock located in Mazandaran province. These birds were suspected to pasteurellosis by the farm veterinarian. No other marked gross lesion except ema...
