“…Similar reports have been described by Alam et al (2003) who reported 23.8% seropositive chickens for Salmonella infection in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh. Our finding supports the report of Bouzoubaa et al (1992) who recorded 23.5% seropositive chickens for salmonellosis from Morocco. Our percentage (25.3%) is lower than that of Minga et al (1987) and Bhattacharya et al (2001) who reported 33.8% and 37.7% seropositive chickens for Salmonella infection in Tanzania and India, respectively.…”

A serological survey on the prevalence of antibodies against Salmonella and Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) was carried out in layer chickens in Rajshahi and surrounding districts of Bangladesh. A total of 605 sera samples were examined by rapid plate agglutination (RPA) test using commercial Salmonella and MG antigens to determine the Salmonella and MG specific antibody. Out of 605 sera samples 14.1% showed single Salmonella, 45.1% showed single MG and 11.2% showed their concurrent infection. Prevalence of Salmonella was recorded the highest (37.6%) in adult compared to young (16.7%). On the contrary, MG and concurrent infections were recorded the highest (71.7% and 13.3%) in young compared to adult (50.4% and 10.4%). The prevalence of Salmonella, MG and concurrent infections were recorded the highest (34.3%, 68.6% and 17.1%) in large flocks compared to small flocks (21.3%, 50.0% and 8.8%). The prevalence of Salmonella infection was the highest (30.4%) in summer followed by winter (23.7%), rainy (25.0%) and autumn (23.3%). The prevalence of MG infection was the highest (61.6%) in winter followed by autumn (56.9%), rainy (55.0%) and summer (49.6%). Whereas, their concurrent infection was the highest (12.1%) in winter followed by summer (11.9%), rainy (10.8%) and autumn (10.0%).

“…The serological prevalence of S. gallinaru m infection in scavenging local chickens was similar to the level reported from Mauritania (Bell et al, 1990), Morocco (Bouzoubaa et al, 1992), Benin (Chrysostome et al, 1995) and Senegal (Arbelot et al, 1997), and it is evident that the infection rate in scavenging local chickens is normally low. Fowl typhoid is transmitted both vertically and horizontally (Wray et al, 1996).…”

“…However, fowl typhoid remains a leading disease of the poultry industry in many areas of the world. In Africa, for example, fowl typhoid has been reported in many countries including Tanzania (Mtei & Msami, 1996), Uganda (Okoj, 1993), Zambia (Sharma et al, 1991), Libya (Hamid & Sharma, 1990), Senegal (Arbelot et al, 1997), Nigeria (Sa'-idu et al, 1994) and Morocco (Bouzoubaa et al, 1992). In Tanzania, fowl typhoid is endemic and was reported to be the most important disease affecting commercial chickens (Minga et al, 1987).…”

Molecular epidemiology ofSalmonella gallinarumin chickens in Tanzania

A molecular epidemiological investigation of Salmonella gallinarum infection in scavenging local chickens and commercial layers in Tanzania was conducted between August 1997 and April 1998. A total of 1152 chickens were randomly selected from 10 villages and seven commercial farms. For serological and cultural prevalence studies, 1152 blood samples and 912 cloacal swabs were collected. In scavenging local chickens, the individual serological and cultural prevalences were 6.3 and 0%, while the prevalences were significantly higher in commercial layers at 18.4 and 2.6% (P < 0.001), respectively. The risk of infection in flocks of scavenging local chickens that had contact with commercial chickens was six times greater than the risk of infection in flocks of scavenging local chickens that had no contact with commercial chickens. Thirty-four S. gallinarum isolated from commercial chickens in this study, together with 29 Tanzanian historical isolates, were characterized using plasmid profiling and ribotyping. Fifty-one isolates contained both 85 and 2.5 kb plasmids, five isolates contained only one plasmid of 85 kb, and seven isolates had no plasmids. Ribotyping using HindIII restriction endonuclease demonstrated seven different ribotypes. Forty-seven isolates had similar results in both typing systems, suggesting they belonged to one clone. It is concluded that S. gallinarum infection in chickens in Tanzania is more prevalent in commercial layers than in scavenging local chickens. One strain of S. gallinarum from chickens first isolated in a Dar es Salaam hatchery was found to be common throughout the country.

“…Due to the natural innate immunity of the backyard chicken, their intestine may not have much colonization with pathogenic Salmonella. Five hundred cloacal swabs were assessed, as 100 pooled samples, taken from village chicken in 50 different farms in Moroccoto isolate only three cultures (Bouzoubaa et al, 1992). Out of that two were S. pullorum and S. gallinarum.…”

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of multidrug resistant Salmonella enteritidis from poultry chicken in comparison with the backyard country chicken along with their seasonal variation in Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu, India. A total of 325 rectal swab samples of chicken were included for this study. Among them 157 and 168 were from poultry and backyard chicken, respectively. Samples were randomly collected during each season like monsoon, post monsoon, Winter and Summer from July 2010 to June 2011. The total rate of isolation of Salmonella was found to be 26.8% (n = 87). Among them 32.5% (n = 51) were from poultry and 21.4% (n = 36) were from backyard chicken. Highest isolation rate was obtained during summer and the lowest, during winter. All the isolates were found to be highly resistant to β-lactam and macrolide antibiotics (52.9-100%) and highly sensitive to co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin (41.2-76.5%). More number of multi drug resistant Salmonella isolates was recovered from the poultry chicken from Tiruchirappalli, Tamilnadu. The probability for this may be the frequent exposure of the poultry chickens for various antibiotics in the chicken farms during their cultivation. β-lactam and macrolide antibiotics may be used in these farms routinely for curbing the bacterial infection among the chickens and this was evidenced in comparison with the backyard chicken samples.
