Seroprevalence and pathological investigation of salmonellosis in poultry

Amaç: Araştırmada kanatlılarda Salmonella seroprevalansı ve patolojisinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Rastgele 200 adet kanatlı serumu plate agglutination test için toplandı ve şüpheli kanatlılardan 28 adet örnek patolojik ve histopatolojik incelemeler için seçildi. Seroprevalansı belirlemek için serum plate agglutination testi ve rutin histopatolojik test kullanıldı. Bulgular: İncelenen 200 adet örneğin 76 Salmonella yönünden pozitif tespit edildi ve seroprevalans %38.0 olarak belirlendi. Özellikle karaciğer (hemaraji, nekrotik alanlar, heterofil infiltrasyonu) ve barsaklarda (goblet hücre proliferasyonu) farklı makroskopik ve mikroskopik lezyonlar gözlendi. Öneri: Bangladeş çiftliklerinde Salmonella enfeksiyonunun varlığını belirlemek için yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

Kanatlılarda salmonellozis seroprevalansı ve patolojik incelenmesi

Aim: Aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of Salmonella along with pathological investigation in poultry. Materials and Methods: A total of 200 birds were selected randomly for collection of serum for serum plate agglutination test and 28 samples were collected from suspected birds for gross and histopathological study. Serum plate agglutination test was performed for detection of seroprevalence and routine histopathological method was used. Results: Out of 200 samples, 76 birds were Salmonellapositive giving the overall seroprevalence of 38.0%. Various macroscopically and microscopically pathologic lesions observed especially in the liver (haemorrhage, necrotic foci, heterophil infiltration) and intestine (goblet cell proliferation). Conclusion: Further studies are need for the determination of the presence of Salmonella infection in farms of Bangladesh.
