“…A high prevalence of IBD (33%) and ND (39.7%) was obtained during the rainy season as compared to dry winter season (Figure 2D). This is in consistent with the report of Lawal et al [10], who also reported high prevalence of IBD 84.4% (rainy season) and 40.3% (dry season). The prevalence of AI was found 9.46%, in which high prevalence was in spring (43.33%) and winter season (40%) which may be due to the high susceptibility of virus in cool and moist climatic conditions.…”

“…Salmonellosis was found the most prevailing disease in winter season where as Mycoplasmosis in rainy season (Figure 2B). The prevalence of IBD (62.97%) on RDT is similar to the finding of Lawal et al [10] who have reported the prevalence International Journal of Food Science and Agriculture of 63.5%. This high prevalence may be due to the sample taken from only suspected chickens on PME.…”

A retrospective study of clinical case records of poultry diseases presented to the pathology unit of Veterinary Laboratory (VL), Pokhara was conducted for duration of one year (March 2018 to February 2019. The basis of diagnosis were necropsies, rapid diagnostic test (RDT), plate agglutination test (PAT), microscopic examination, ELISA and PCR. The diagnosed diseases were bacterial including colibacilosis, omphalitis, salmonellosis, chronic respiratory disease (CRD) and complicated chronic respiratory disease (CCRD); parasitic including coccidiosis, tapeworm and ascariasis; viral including new castle disease (ND), infectious bronchitis (IB), infectious bursal disease (IBD), Marek's disease (MD) and avian influenza (AI) and non-infectious diseases/disorders including immunosuppression, mycotoxicity (MT), enteritis, pneumonitis, ascites, dehydration, nephritis, hepatitis, gout, sudden death syndrome (SDS), paralysis, fatty liver syndrome (FLS), hydro pericardial syndrome (HPS) and necrotic enteritis (NE). Out of total 5,037 cases recorded, bacterial diseases accounted for 41.16%, followed by parasitic (22.67%), non-infectious (19.93%) and 16.24% viral. Colibacilosis (14.49%), IBD (12.67%) and coccidiosis (22.63%) were the most prevalent diseases in their respective category. The highest prevalence of overall diseases were found in the spring season (27.24%), followed by winter (26.70%), summer (23.94%) and autumn (22.12%). Out of 2,024 caecal scrapings taken from the chicken of more than two weeks of age and tasted for caecal coccidian oocyst, 583 (28.8%) were found positive. The prevalence of coccidiosis was found more in humid spring season (28.3%), followed by rainy (26.9%), autumn (24.4%) and winter (20.4%). On the rapid PAT of morbid chickens, 46.84% Salmonella and 56.51% Mycoplasma were found sero-positive. Similarly, 62.97% IBD, 42.02% ND and 9.5% AI were positive for their specific antigens on RDT. Majority of the cases were found related to poor management and biosecurity measures of farm. Therefore, knowledge on seasonal occurrence of different diseases, their preventive measures as well as accurate diagnosis and treatment are the key factors for successful poultry farming.

“…A higher prevalence rate of 41.0% of the virus was recorded in male than in female (32.9) poultry from this study. This is similar to what was reported by Lawal et al (2014), who reported higher prevalence in male (59.9%) than female (52.2%) birds.…”

Seroprevalence of chicken infectious anemia virus infection among some poultry species in Maiduguri, Nigeria

Objective: This study was designed to investigate the seroprevalence of Chicken Infectious Anemia Virus (CIAV) among selected poultry species in Maiduguri, Nigeria. Materials and method: ELISA kit (X-Ovo Flockscreen TM , Cat. No.V085 5 plates. February, 2014 -Xnew kit format), Chicken serum, enzyme conjugate reagent, adhesive cover, wash buffer, substrate reagent, stop solution. Serum samples from village chickens, broilers, layers, ducks, turkeys and geese in Maiduguri were tested for CIAV antibodies using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) as per the manufacturer's protocols at the Viral Research Laboratory, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Maiduguri, Nigeria. The results were presented in simple percentages, bar charts and analyzed using SPSS Version 16 software. Results: Out of 944 sera from different species of poultry tested, an overall seroprevalence of 38.5% (n=363/944) was recorded in this study. The species distribution showed village chickens had 41.4% (n=166/944) prevalence, layers with 23.0% (n=12/52), broilers 46.6% (n=146/313), turkeys 23.6% (n=30/127), ducks 13.7% (n=4/29) and geese 22.7% (n=5/22) prevalence for CIAV antibodies. Conclusion:The result of this study shows that CIAV infection is present among different poultry species in the study area and therefore highlight the need for continuous surveillance so as to control further spread of the virus.

Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) is an acute, immunosuppressive disease of significant threat to the poultry industry in Nigeria and vaccination has been reported as the best method of control. This study was conducted between November and December 2015 to establish the occurrence of infectious bursal disease antibodies in exotic chickens from some selected backyard poultry farms and local chickens slaughtered in keffi central market, Nassarawa State. Sera collected randomly from two hundred birds were subjected to Agar Gel Precipitation Test (AGPT) for qualitative analysis at the virology laboratory (FCVMLT), National Veterinary Research Institute, Vom. The assay showed 35% of exotic birds had IBD virus antibodies while local birds indicated absence of detectable antibodies with significant P<0.05 breed association (Χ2= 42.5, df=2). However, there was no association (P>0.05) with age in both breeds and IBDV antibodies (Χ2=0.802, 3.13, df=1). The presence of antibodies in exotic breeds suggests evidence of post vaccination protective antibodies due to sero-conversion rather than anti-IBDV antibodies associated with disease. Absence of infectious bursal disease virus antibodies in local birds suggests high vulnerability to potential IBD outbreaks posing a risk of financial losses to stakeholders. In conclusion, this sero-survey of Infectious bursal disease antibodies in exotic birds suggest evidence of vaccination and the need to vaccinate local birds. Awareness campaign program amongst rural and backyard poultry keepers in the study community on the need to protect their commercial exotic and free scavenging birds against infectious bursal disease is thus recommended.
