Houseflies (Musca domestica) live in close contact with humans. They are carriers of human pathogenic bacteria the digestive tract and on their body. This study aimed to assess prevalence antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative flies.Sixty-one isolates were collected from 100 houseflies at three different locations: a laying hen farm, market, houses, comprising 23 Escherichia coli, 31 Klebsiella pneumoniae 7 Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antimicrobial sensitivity was determined by disk diffusion...
Background . Enteric diseases are an important concern to the poultry industry and coccidiosis is imposing a significant economic burden worldwide. Objectives The main goal of present study was investigate prevalence in free-range chicken Sidi Thabet, northeast Tunisia. Methods Six hundred thirty chickens along with fecal samples were collected from 15 flocks this region two found positive for oocysts Eimeria spp. Intestines dissected examined macroscopic lesions. mucosa small intestine...
Abstract Marek's disease (MD) is a contagious avian viral that responsible for large economic losses to farmers. The caused by virus (species Gallid alphaherpesvirus 2 ), which causes neurological lesions, immune suppression, and tumor proliferation of lymphoid cells invade number organs tissues. Despite widespread vaccination, (MDV), has shown continuous increase in its virulence acquired the ability overcome responses induced vaccines. In present study, oncogenic serotype MDV-1 was...

Swollen Head Syndrome (SHS) is an economically important viral disease of chickens caused by avian metapneumovirus (aMPV). The virus comprises 6 different subtypes (A,B,C,D, New-1 and New-2). To date, no information was available on the presence in Tunisian poultry. present work aims to detect (aMPV) broiler chicken Tunisia, then characterise isolates order determine their subtype estimate geographic origin introduction. A total 289 samples were collected, aMPV detection detected real time...
B ackyard poultry sector is considered as an important source of income for several families in rural areas Tunisia.These flocks provide a cheap protein the form meat and eggs.This traditional production contributes to national with average 7% (GIPAC, 2010).Several factors limit productivity free-range flocks.Malnutrition, poor management, lack biosafety conditions vaccination plans.Losses have also been attributed housing specific veterinary care services.Furthermore, genetic potential due...

The study was designed to investigate the replication of a re-assortant H9N2 avian influenza virus (AIV) and induction interferon (IFNγ) response after aerosol or intranasal inoculation with in guinea fowl. To determine shedding pattern, oropharyngeal cloacal swabs tissue specimens trachea, lungs, spleen caecal tonsils were collected post-inoculation (pi). Infected fowl showed mild clinical signs, while negative control remained healthy active throughout experiment irrespective route....
Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT), an acute infection of the upper respiratory tract chickens, was absent before end 2013, in Tunisia. Severe signs were observed 48 layer and broiler flocks (3 weeks to 80 old) between June 2013 2016, characterized with dyspnea, bloody mucus excretion decrease egg production. Clinical dominated by congestive hemorrhagic inflammation tract. Histopathological analyses PCR tests performed on tissues suspected birds. Suggestive lesions ILT, such as epithelial...
Chicken infectious anemia virus (CIAV) is an economically important and widely distributed immunosuppressive agent in chickens. This study performed epidemiological investigation on CIAV circulation 195 Tunisian broilers, belonging to 13 lots from five industrial farms one rural farm. Fifteen animals were detected positive by a VP1 nested PCR. The amplicons molecularly characterised complete genome sequencing. All samples obtained this the farm, whereas sampled negative. Nucleotide amino...

Aspergillosis is one of the most frequent mycosis affecting avian species. Here, we report an outbreak aspergillosis in a backyard flock ducks (Anas platyrhynchos), aged between 4 wks to 1 year with respiratory signs as dyspnea, gasping and nasal discharge, up 14.28% mortality. At necropsy, congested lungs, exudative trachea-bronchitis, airsacculitis extensive multifocal granulomatous pneumonia were recorded. Histopathology examination revealed chronic mycotic pneumonia. Aspergillus...
This study was carried out to identify and estimate the prevalence of intestinal helminths in free-range poultry (Gallus gallus domesticus), from September 2016 December 2022. A total 494 birds both sexes, aged 6 weeks 36 weeks, were examined necropsied. Mucosa contents different gastrointestinal tract segments for helminth parasites. Results showed that 38.86% (192 birds), as overall prevalence, infected by at least one parasite species. The infections higher young animals (under 18 weeks)...
Une étude séro-épidémiologique a été menée au sein de six sociétés d’élevage reproducteurs chair et quatre ponte, couvrant la majeure partie des élevages aviaires en Tunisie. L’objectif d’évaluer l’efficacité réponse immunitaire suite à l’application protocoles vaccinaux établis par les propriétaires effectués contre virus maladie Newcastle (NDV), bronchite infectieuse (IBV) Gumboro (IBD). Au cours huit visites réalisées élevage, questionnaires ont remplis 2 000 prélèvements effectués. Ces...
