AVIAN INFLUENZA ( AI )

Clinical Sign: depression, fever, ecchymoses


(comb, wattles)
Etiology: Avian Influenza
Species: chicken (Gallus gallus)

AI viruses are classified into two general types based on their pathogenicity for
chickens: Low Pathogenic (LP) and Highly Pathogenic (HP) types.
AI is caused by viruses that are members of the family Orthomyxoviridae,

Clinical Sign: Depression;


Ecchymoses (comb, wattles).

Morphologic Diagnosis
Skin: Severe acute locally extensive hemorrhage
Clinical Description
This image was taken 3 days post experimental inoculation with highly pathogenic
avian influenza. Detailed view of the leg showing hemorrhages on lateral aspect
of the shank.
Pathologic Description
The skin of the lateral tarsometatarsus contains large, linear red to purple lesion.7
Morphologic Diagnosis
Cloaca: Severe acute diffuse
mucosal hemorrhage and edema.

Clinical Description
This image was taken 2 days post
experimental inoculation with highly
pathogenic avian influenza. In highly
pathogenic avian influenza, the virus
has wide spread tissue tropism,
resulting in the inflammation and
necrosis of many different tissues and
organs. In this chicken, there are
severe hemorrhages and necrosis of
the cloaca.

Pathologic Description
The vent is dilated, revealing the dark
red, swollen cloacal mucosa. The lack
of feathers around the vent is due to
normal molting.

Tissue: pancreas
Etiology: Avian Influenza

Morphologic Diagnosis
Pancreas: Acute multifocal to coalescing
hemorrhage
Clinical Description
This image was taken 3 days post
experimental inoculation with highly
pathogenic avian influenza. There are
extensive petechiae on the pancreas.
Pathologic Description
The surface of the pancreas is covered by
numerous pinpoint red foci which coalesce
to form multiple, larger, poorly defined red
plaques.

10
Morphologic Diagnosis
Pancreas: Mild acute multifocal
hemorrhage with diffuse edema
Clinical Description
This image was taken 5 days post
experimental inoculation with highly
pathogenic avian influenza. An
enlarged firm pancreas is
occasionally observed in HPAI.
Hemorrhagic lesions may be
commonly observed on the
pancreas, as in many other organs.
Pathologic Description
The pancreas is swollen and bulges
from its position between the loops
of the duodenum. There are
individual punctate, sometimes
coalescing, red foci throughout the
pancreatic parenchyma. These foci
are particularly prominent near the
edges of the pancreas, adjacent to
the duodenum.

DISEASE PROFILE

Historically, strains of NDV have been grouped into


five pathotypes or forms, based on the clinical
signs seen in infected chickens.

These have been defined as:

15
Viscerotropic velogenic: a highly pathogenic form in
which hemorrhagic intestinal lesions are
frequently seen
Neurotropic velogenic: a form that presents with high
mortality, usually following respiratory and
nervous signs
Mesogenic: a form that presents with respiratory signs,
occasional nervous signs, but low mortality
Lentogenic or respiratory: a form that presents with
mild or subclinical respiratory infection
Asymptomatic enteric: a form that usually consists of a
subclinical enteric infection."

IB is characterised primarily by respiratory signs. Infection with IBV may also
lead to kidney problems (nephritis) and problems with egg production and egg
quality in laying and breeder hens.
Other closely related avian coronaviruses can also infect game birds and
turkeys. For example, in pheasants kidney damage and respiratory problems
may be observed. In turkeys the virus can be a cause of intestinal problems.

ILT (Infectious Laryngotracheitis )

Clinical Sign: expectoration


Etiology: Infectious
Laryngotracheitis
Species: chicken (Gallus
gallus)

Clinical Description
In severe epizootic forms of
laryngotracheitis infection,
expectoration of bloody mucus
may occur, as seen here.

46
• Etiology
• Infectious Laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a highly
contagious upper respiratory infection caused by
the infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV).
• The virus belongs to the Herpesviridae family
and is in the subfamily Alphaherpesvirinae.
• Mild to severe enzootics of the disease have
been observed.

47
In some cases, casts of haemorrhagic or fibrinous exudate are formed
that could almost completely obturate the larynx and the trachea.
Source of the infection are sick and convalescent birds, the latter
being prolonged carriers of the virus (up to 1 - 2 years). With this
regard, a certain stationarity is observed.

48
Haemorrhagic laryngotracheitis. The morbidity rate of LT reaches 50-
70% and the death rate: 10-20%. Often, it goes on as a complicated
infection after the involvement of E. coli, St. aureus, M. gallisepticum
etc.

trachea, dlm conjungtiva mungkin ditemukan
inklusion body intranuklear.
50
In the conjunctival form of LT, wet eyes, tear secretion and oedema of
infraorbital sinuses are observed, especially in a complicated infection.
The typical clinical and morphological signs are sufficient to assume
the presence of LT. The diagnosis is confirmed with the detection of
intranuclear inclusion bodies in the trachea throughout

51
Clinical Sign: Conjunctivitis, swelling (periorbital
region, infraorbital sinuses)
52
Gumboro / Bursitis

The dead bodies are dehydrated, often with haemorrhages in the


pectoral, thigh and abdominal muscles.

53
The incubation period is short and the first symptoms appear 2-3
days after infection. The lesions in the bursa of Fabricius are
progressive. In the beginning, the bursa is enlarged, oedematous and 54
covered with a gelatinous transudate.
IBD virus has a lymphocidic effect and the most severe injuries are in
the lymph follicles of the bursa of Fabricius. Most commonly, IBD
begins as a serous bursitis.

55
IBD lesions undergo various stages of serous haemorrhagic to
severe haemorrhagic inflammation.

.Fowl pox (FP) is a viral disease in hens, turkeys and many other
birds, characterized by cutaneous lesions on the feather-less skin
and/or diphtheritic lesions of mucous coats of the upper alimentary
and respiratory tract. FP is encountered in either cutaneous or
diphtheritic form or in both. In most outbreaks, the cutaneous form
is prevailing. The lesions vary FP is encountered in either cutaneous or
diphtheritic form or in both. In most outbreaks, the cutaneous form is
prevailing. the stage of development: papules, vesicles, pustules or
crusts. The lesions are usually in the region of the head. 60
Diphtheritic lesions look like whitish or yellowish plaques that are
deposited and grown on the mucous coats of the buccal and nasal
cavities, the sinuses, the larynx, the pharynx, the trachea or the
oesophagus (arrows). The diagnosis is made upon the typical
cutaneous and diphtheritic lesions. The prevention is performed by
vaccinations that could be made at any age, if necessary.
61
FP. Cutaneous form (dry pox). Face lesions in young turkey.

62
Clinical Sign: nodules

Multifocal hyperplastic and
ulcerative dermatitis.

Clinical Description
This image shows the dry
form of avian pox with
cutaneous hyperplastic
lesions of the face, wattles,
and comb. The formation of
scabs is typical in this form
of Avian Pox.

63
• Pathologic Description
• The unfeathered portions of the skin are covered
by multiple, well-demarcated, raised, nodular
masses. Many of the masses are covered by
layers of dry, tan, flaky tissue.
• Some of the lesions are rimmed by reddened
skin and some are covered by red scabs. The
masses impinge on the nare, eye, and
commissure of the beak.

64
Morphologic Diagnosis
Skin, leg: Severe multifocal to locally extensive nodular follicular epidermal
hyperplasia with dermatitis
Pathologic Description
The skin and leg are disrupted by multiple well-demarcated raised round
nodules. At the distal aspect of the leg, these nodules coalesce to form a
confluent, raised, irregularly-shaped, brown scab. Because the individual lesions
are regular in shape, size, and distribution, it is likely that they correspond to a
normal anatomic structure. In this case, they correspond to the feather follicles.
65
Morphologic Diagnosis
Skin (head): Moderate multifocal to
coalescing hyperplasia with
hyperkeratosis and ulceration.
Clinical Description
In the later stages of the dry form of
Avian Pox, shown here, the cutaneous
lesions on the wattles and comb have
progressed into vesicles, exhibiting
thick, rough, brown scabs. Some of the
lesions have coalesced.
Pathologic Description
The unfeathered skin of the head is
covered by numerous, randomly
arranged, well-demarcated, slightly
raised plaques of brown, rough tissue.
In areas, these plaques coalesce to
form large lesions. A few of the plaques
are covered by scabs.

Acute (visceral) form.It is characterized by diffuse or nodular
lymphomatous lesions in various viscera (liver, spleen, heart,
kidneys, lungs, gonads, proventriculus, pancreas etc.), the
skeletal muscles and the skin. MD affects mainly hens, and is
rarely observed in turkeys. It is most commonly encoun¬tered in
birds at the age of 89 weeks and in layer hens. The cases at the
age of 16-20 and 24-30 weeks are pre¬dominant. MD is prevalent
all around the world and in fact, all flocks are exposed to the
effect of the aetiological factor.

The manifold enlarged proventriculus with the shape of a round bottom flask
(288) result of diffuse neoplastic growth and the severely narrowed lumen
(289) are a typical finding in MD. The causative agent of MD is a type B cell
associated herpesvirus (MDV). There are three MDV serotypes. The isolates
of serotype 1 are widely distributed among hens and vary from highly virulent
(w+) oncogenic to almost avirulent strains. The serotype 2 is common for
hens and is not oncogenic. The isolates of serotype 3, known also as turkey
herpesviruses (HVT) are naturally occurring in turkeys and are non-
oncogenic. The three serotypes possess a significant cross reactivity.

with paralysis of limbs.
.Transient paralysis. They are observed in
chickens and hens, especially non-vaccinated
against MD. Most cases present the classical
form manifested by flaccid paralysis of the

be enlarged, but examination
requires careful dissection of
the spinal cord and its nerve
trunks.

117
118
119
Etiology: Marek's Disease
Species: Unknown

Clinical Description
A large number of tumors in the
pancreas of a bird infected with
Marek's disease.

120
Etiology
Marek's disease (MD) is a transmissible neoplastic
disease, primarily affecting chickens.

The disease is caused by a cell-associated herpesvirus,


containing double-stranded DNA.

There are three serotypes of MDV but oncogenicity is only


associated with serotype 1 MDVs.

Within this serotype however, there are many strains of


MDV, whose pathogenicity varies widely.

Subsequently, clinical signs in infected chickens vary from


asymptomatic infection to neurologic disease, skin
disease, and ocular lesions.
121
Clinical Sign:
paralysis (legs),
dyspnea

Clinical Description
The most common form of Marek’s disease is the lymphoproliferative
syndrome, wherein mononuclear infiltrates develop in peripheral nerves and
organs. The clinical signs associated with this condition are non-specific and relate
to the location of the lesions. A variety of neurologic signs can develop including
spastic paralysis of the limbs, exhibited here. This chicken is also gasping, a sign
associated with the paralysis of the respiratory and digestive systems. 122
Clinical Description

Paresis and paralysis are usually


asymmetrical, reflecting the
asymmetrical peripheral nerve
involvement of Marek’s disease.
This clinical sign often manifests
itself with the bird stretching one leg
forward and one leg backward, as
seen here.

Clinical Sign: opisthotonus


Clinical Description
In Marek's disease, opisthotonus
(backwards extension of the head and
neck), torticollis (lateral twisting of the
head and neck), and other nervous
signs are sometimes observed.

123
Clinical Sign: Torticollis (head and
neck)
Clinical Description
Neurologic signs in Marek's
disease may include torticollis,
shown here.

Clinical Sign: paralysis


Clinical Description
In Marek's disease, transient paralysis can
occur and is caused by temporary
vasculitis and edema in the brain. The
condition typically persists for 1-2 days,
after which time the chickens will
experience a rapid and total recovery.
Later, infected chickens may develop MD
lymphomas with clinical signs reflecting
124
tissue involvement.
Clinical Sign: nodules and ulcers (skin)
Clinical Description
In Marek's disease, affected feather follicles can become roughened
and develop ulcers.

These ulcers may develop secondary infections, exacerbated by the


immunosuppressive nature of Marek’s disease.
125
Clinical Description
In some cases of Marek's
disease, large
subcutaneous lymphomas
may be observed
throughout the body
(shown here in the leg on

.Viral arthritis/tenosynovitis. The most frequent reovirus-
associated disease in poultry is viral arthritis. Clinically it is
manifested by lameness and swellings affecting primarily
tarsometatarsal joints and the feet. Many infected birds are in a
good general condition, but some could be lethargic and
exhausted. The mortality is very low. The infections affect
predominantly meat type poultry.
150
some cases, joint cavities or tendon sheaths
contain a small amount of straw-yellow exudate
whereas in other the exudate is haemorrhagic or
fibrinous. 151
Fibrinous tenosynovitis. The inflammation of the tendon
progresses to a chronic type lesion characterized by tissue
fibrosis in the affected area. The aetiological agent is a reovirus,
member of the Orthoreovirus genus, Reoviridae family. Several
serotypes are identified. For their identification, the agar gel
precipitation test could be used. Reoviruses are highly resistant
to a number of environmental factors (temperature, pH etc.).
152
Stunting syndrome in broilers. The stunting syndrome in broilers is
associated with a reovirus infection but according to some studies,
the role of the reovirus is probably secondary. It is characterized by
a considerably reduced live weight in affected birds and a various
degree of ununiformity in the flock varying from 5-10% to 40-50%,
usually seen after the age of 14 days.
153
The growing primary wing feathers are abnormally big
for chickens with retarded growth, they protrude at
various angles, so the disease is termed ..helicopter
disease". One-day old chickens are the most
susceptible to the infection. 154
.Usually, a high-degree atrophy of the pancreas is observed.
Reoviruses are shed with faeces and could contaminate the egg
shells. The transmission of the infection to susceptible chickens is
realized horizontally. The vertical route of transmission is also
proved. Reoviruses could persist in infected birds for more than 40
weeks.
155
The small intestine is pale, dilated and contain indigested forage. The
tentative diagnosis of viral arthritis and stunting syndrome could be
made on the basis of symptoms and lesions. The detection of reovirus
antibodies via ELISA supports the diagnosis. Viral arthritis should be
differentiated from M. synov/ae-induced, staphylococcal arthrites and
the spontaneous rupture of the tendon of the gastrocnemius muscle.
The vaccination of broiler breeder flocks with live or inactivated
vaccines protects one-day-old chicks. Infected birds should be
removed from the premises. The iodine disinfectants are considered
effective for inactivation of agents. 156
157
158
159
Coccidiosis

Coccidiosis is a major disease problem in commercial


poultry and the most common cause of enteritis.

At least nine species have been described in chicken.


The most important of these are E. acervulina, E.
brunetti, E. maxima, E. necatrix and E. tenella.

160
Coccidiosis is a common protozoan The area around the vent is stained with
disease in domestic birds and other blood. The infection is realized by a
fowl, characterized by enteritis and faecal-oral route. After ingestion of

Pathoanatomically, dehydration and a high
degree of anaemia of the body and viscera
are discovered.

162
.Depending on the localization of lesions in intestines, the
coccidioses are divided into caecal, induced by E. tenella, and
small intestinal, induced by E. acervulina, E. brunetti, E. maxima,
E. mitis, E. mivati, E. necatrix, E. praecox and E. nagani. In
caecal coccidiosis, a marked typhlitis is present and
haemorrhages are seen through the intestinal wall.

164
In small intestinal coccidioses, depending on the eimeria species,
haemorrhages with various intensities in different parts along the intestine
are observed. In many instances, the haemorrhages are petchial and could
be seen through the intestinal wall.

multiple petechial or larger haemorrhages.

166
Histologically, Eimeria organisms at a various stage of
development are detected in the epithelial intestinal cells. The
diagnosis is made upon the results of the complex evaluation of
the clinical picture, the macroscopic lesions, imprint preparations,
histological study and flotation. Coccidioses should be
differentiated from NE, UE and histomonosis (typhlohepatitis).
Treatment - sulfonamides are widely used: sulfadimethoxine,
sulfaquinoxaline, I sulfamethazine, but they should not I be used in
layer hens. The supplementation I of vitamins A and K promotes
the recovery. 167
The microscopic examination of a native
preparation of intestinal content or superficial
mucosal layer reveals a significant number of
oocysts in one observation field. Prevention.
The use of coccidiostatics with forages on a
rotation basis is the most extensively used
means. The immunization against coccidiosis
with commercial vaccines is used in broiler
breeder flocks. If the chickens are exposed to
the natural effect of a moderate number of
oocysts in their environment, they develop
immunity to the respective parasitic species

Morphologic Diagnosis
Eye, infraorbital sinus, and nasal cavity: Severe acute catarrhal and
suppurative conjunctivitis, sinusitis, and cellulitis
Clinical Description
The severity of Infectious Coryza (Avibacterium paragallinarum) depends
on age, breed, environmental stress, and the presence of concurrent
infection. In young adult chickens, the severe form of the disease often
occurs. Here, the characteristic signs of facial swelling, eyelids that are
swollen closed, and nasal discharge can be seen.
Pathologic Description
The head area, ocular tissue, and wattles are significantly swollen and there
is a thick brown discharge from the eye and nares. 172
Etiology
Infectious coryza (IC) is a respiratory disease primarily affecting
chickens and occasionally pheasants and guinea-fowl. The disease is
caused by Avibacterium paragallinarum, a gram-negative nonmotile
bacterium.

Post-mortem Lesions

On post-mortem examination, gross lesions may be found on the mucous


membranes of the nasal passages, sinuses, and ocular conjunctiva. Findings
may include inflammation and catarrhal lesions. Subcutaneous edema may be
found in the face, wattles, and intermandibular region. Rarely, pneumonia and
airsacculitis may be present.

“Air sac disease” and Chronic Respiratory Disease (CRD)

Chronic respiratory disease (CRD) refers to respiratory


infection of the upper respiratory tract of chicken
caused by Mycoplasma gallisepticum.
This agent affects turkeys more severely and causes
infectious sinusitis.

Clinical Description
In turkeys, Mycoplasma gallisepticum
often produces a more severe infection
than in chickens. Here, a turkey is
exhibiting characteristic severe swelling
of the infraorbital sinuses. The
combination of sinusitis and
conjunctivitis may become so severe
that the bird cannot open its eyes. This
sign is not commonly observed in 175
chickens.
Clinical Description
In Mycoplasma gallisepticum infections,
the fibrinous inflammation surrounding
the heart, lungs, and liver may become
so extensive that it extends into the
surrounding coelomic cavity. In the MG
infected bird on the bottom of this
photo, the inner breast muscle covering
the heart and lungs is covered in fibrin.

Clinical Description
In Mycoplasma gallisepticum
infections, fibrinous or fibrinopurulent
pericarditis and perihepatitis may also
be found on post-mortem exam, as
seen here.

176
Clinical Description
In Mycoplasma gallisepticum infections,
fibrinous airsacculitis, with accumulations of
caseous exudate, may also be observed on
the air sacs, as seen here. This is a common
sequelae of MG infection when it becomes
complicated with E. coli and will result in
high condemnations at processing plants.

Clinical Description

Mycotoxin

• Mycotoxins (Mycotoxicosis)

• Etiology
• Mycotoxicosis is a general term that applies to a broad range of
clinical syndromes, caused by the ingestion of feed
contaminated with toxic metabolites produced by several
species of fungi commonly found in grain.
• The severity of the disease condition varies with the
concentration of toxin ingested. There are many types of
mycotoxins recognized.
• However, the ones most commonly associated with disease in
poultry include aflatoxins (produced by Aspergillus flavus,
Aspergillus parasiticus and Penicillium puberulum), fusarium
toxins (produced by Fusarium spp.) and ochratoxins (primarily
produced by Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium
viridicatum).

Etiology

Fowl cholera (FC) is a highly contagious disease of domestic and wild


birds. The disease is caused by Pasteurella multocida, a gram-negative,
non-spore-forming, rod shaped bacteria. There are 16 somatic serotypes
of Pasteurella multocida, of which 1, 3, and 3x4 are the most common.
The pathogenicity of Pasteurella multocida strains is quite variable and
the degree of expression of clinical signs varies by host species as well
as variations within the host's immune system.

and involve the periorbital region and infraorbital sinuses. Edema may
also extend into the intermandibular space. Nasal discharge may range
from serous to mucoid or purulent (as shown here). Infected birds
typically have reduced feed consumption and growth and a drop in egg
production.

Pathologic Description
The subcutaneous tissues of the head are swollen and there is a thick
discharge from the nose. A small amount of clear discharge is present in
the eye. Additionally, the area over the infraorbital sinus is swollen.
