Since 2016, low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) H9N2 became a major issue for poultry production in Morocco. Even though the agent was classified as pathogenic, AI cause significant economic losses, particularly during co-infections. Experimentally, it has been difficult to reproduce clinical picture without appealing other viral or bacterial pathogens. Our study carried out evaluate new challenge model using cold stress commercial broilers infected with two Moroccan viruses...
Avian influenza viruses pose significant threats to both the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Among them, H9N2 subtype has gained substantial attention due its high prevalence, especially in Asia, Middle East, Africa; ability reassort with other viruses; potential infect humans. This study presents a comprehensive phylogenetic molecular analysis of avian circulating Morocco from 2021 2023. Through an active epidemiological survey, total 1140 samples (trachea lungs) oropharyngeal...
In 2022, around 54 % of African students were denied student visas to study in the United States (US), compared 36 Asian and 9 European students, despite immigrants US often being more highly educated than native-born population. This issue cannot be attributed solely dichotomy between Global North South visa regimes, but it is also evident among nations across regional economic blocs. The BioGenome Project (AfricaBP) Open Institute for Genomics Bioinformatics, which aims overcome barriers...
Gizzard erosion and ulceration syndrome (GEUS) is caused by a fowl adenovirus serotype 1 (FAdV-1) was first reported in laying hens Japan 1993. This has emerged as an epizootic Morocco since 2014, causing significant economic losses for the poultry industry, but no involvement of FAdV been confirmed. Thus, objective this work to assess GEUS cases that occurred country determine role FAdVs their occurrence. Investigations were based on retrospective reassessment tissue sections paraffin...
Avian Metapneumovirus (aMPV) is a significant poultry pathogen with global presence, primarily causing respiratory issues in turkeys. It also affects chickens, although the severity of its impact often lessened this species. In Morocco, aMPV has been detected broiler flocks, prompting need to deeply analyze circulating strains better understand epidemiology and develop control measures accordingly. This research focuses on sequencing molecular characterization these flocks. Additionally,...
We report in this paper the first detection of low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) subtype H9N2 houbara bustards and gamebirds Morocco. Starting 2019, an increase mortality rates related to respiratory distress was recorded these species. Necropsy specimens revealed fibrinous sinusitis tracheitis with intra-bronchial fibrin casts, which are consistent infection chickens; therefore, implication virus outbreaks strongly suspected. Consequently, between January 2020 June 2023, birds signs...
