AIM This study was carried out for the detection of Avibacterium paragallinarum from outbreaks of infectious coryza of poultry. MATERIALS AND METHODS The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was standardized for the diagnosis of infectious coryza by using infectious coryza Killed vaccine, ventri biologicals, Pune as source of DNA of A. paragallinarum. Five outbreaks of infectious coryza from Andhr...

avibacterium paragallinarum is gram-negative bacteria that cause infectious coryza (ic), an acute respiratory disease of chickens. despite vaccination of layer and breeder farms of iran against ic, they are still experiencing the disease clinically and there is no knowledge of serotypes prevalence of this bacterium in this country. this study designed to determine serovar identity by molecular ...

Infectious coryza is a respiratory disease of chicken primarily affecting upper respiratory tracts. Six outbreaks of infectious coryza were investigated from Andhra Pradesh. Three of them were in commercial chicken, two from native Aseel chicken and one from emu. Out of total 74 infra orbital sinus swabs tested, 27 (36.4%) gave isolates of Avibacterium paragallinarum. All the 27 isolates obtain...

OBJECTIVE To characterise 18 isolates of Haemophilus paragallinarum isolated from chickens in Indonesia. PROCEDURE The isolates were identified to species level by traditional phenotypic methods. Six of the isolates were also identified by a species-specific polymerase chain reaction. Fourteen of the isolates were examined for resistance to a panel of seven antimicrobial agents using a disc d...

The effect of a continuous disinfection programme, using the non-toxic disinfectant Virukill, in layers, on the spread and impact of infectious coryza, caused by Haemophilus paragallinarum was evaluated. In this experiment, both unvaccinated layers and layers vaccinated against infectious coryza were used. Duplicate smaller groups of vaccinated and unvaccinated chickens were challenged with dif...

In the present study, efficacy of two prepared combined vaccines against salmonellosis and infectious coryza in poultry has been studied. Two vaccines were prepared using Salmonella Typhimurium and Enteritidis combined with Avibacterium paragallinarum serovars A, B, and C. one vaccine was adjuvanated with aluminium hydroxide gel and the other adjuvanated with montanide ISA71. The two vaccines w...

Naturally occurring NAD-independent variants of Haemophilus paragallinarum, which have been isolates from poultry showing clinical signs of infectious coryza, were used to determine their virulence using a newly developed challenge model for infectious coryza. It was established that the NAD-independent isolates belonging to a particular serogroup, were less virulent when compared to the virule...
