StarStarStarStar

Cryptosporidium spp.

StarStarStarStar

Causes cryptosporidiosis, leading to mild to severe gastroenteritis. Control through water sanitation and good husbandry practices.

StarStarStarStar

Northern Fowl Mite (Ornithonyssus sylviarum)

StarStarStarStar

Sucks blood, causing anemia and decreased production. Controlled with acaricides and environmental management.

StarStarStarStar

Blackhead Disease (Histomonas meleagridis)

StarStarStarStar

Causes enteritis and liver necrosis, often fatal in turkeys. Great coop hygiene, regular worming, and prophylactic treatments are control measures.

StarStarStarStar

Eimeria species

StarStarStarStar

Cause coccidiosis, leading to poor nutrient absorption and diarrhea. Controlled with good hygiene, anticoccidial medications, and vaccines.

StarStarStarStar

Avian Leukosis Virus

StarStarStarStar

Causes avian leukosis, leading to tumors and decreased productivity. Control through genetic resistance, biosecurity, and eradication of infected birds.

StarStarStarStar

Avian Influenza Virus

StarStarStarStar

Causes avian influenza, leading to high mortality and trade restrictions. Controlled with vaccination, biosecurity, and culling when necessary.

StarStarStarStar

Newcastle Disease Virus

StarStarStarStar

Highly contagious, causes respiratory, nervous and digestive disturbances. Vaccination and strict biosecurity are control measures.

StarStarStarStar

Acuaria spiralis

StarStarStarStar

Intestinal worm leading to weight loss and depigmentation of eggs. Control by good sanitation and the strategic use of anthelmintics.

StarStarStarStar

Fowl Pox Virus

StarStarStarStar

Causes cutaneous lesions and diptheritic membranes, impacting egg production. Vaccination and mosquito control are preventive measures.

StarStarStarStar

Oxyspirura mansoni

StarStarStarStar

Eyeworm that causes ocular discomfort and reduced vision. Control via anthelmintics and improved living conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Marek's Disease Virus

StarStarStarStar

Causes Marek's disease, a herpesvirus infection leading to tumors and paralysis. Vaccination is the most effective control measure.

StarStarStarStar

Gape Worm (Syngamus trachea)

StarStarStarStar

Causes gapeworm infection, leading to respiratory distress. Controlled with anthelmintics and avoiding wet areas in the coop.

StarStarStarStar

Ascaridia galli

StarStarStarStar

Causes ascaridiasis, leading to reduced growth and egg production. Control involves anthelmintics and maintaining dry litter.

StarStarStarStar

Lice (e.g., Menacanthus stramineus)

StarStarStarStar

Feeds on skin, causing irritation and decreased egg production. Controlled with insecticides and good coop maintenance.

StarStarStarStar

Tape Worms (e.g., Raillietina cesticillus)

StarStarStarStar

Causes weight loss and reduced nutrient absorption. Controlled with praziquantel and maintaining free-range area sanitation.

StarStarStarStar

Candida albicans

StarStarStarStar

Causes candidiasis or thrush, leading to crop mycosis. Good husbandry, antifungal medications, and clean water supply are control measures.

StarStarStarStar

Red Mite (Dermanyssus gallinae)

StarStarStarStar

Feeds on blood at night, leading to restlessness and decreased egg production. Control with regular coop cleaning and acaricides.

StarStarStarStar

Mycoplasma gallisepticum

StarStarStarStar

Causes chronic respiratory disease, leading to reduced egg productivity. Controlled with antibiotics and preventative measures like vaccination.

StarStarStarStar

Fowl Cholera (Pasteurella multocida)

StarStarStarStar

Causes septicemia and high mortality. Vaccination, good sanitation, and rapid removal of dead birds are control measures.

StarStarStarStar

Heterakis gallinarum

StarStarStarStar

Causes heterakiasis, may result in reduced productivity; spread can be reduced by proper waste management and biosecurity measures.
