Chickenpox01:20

Chickenpox

Chickenpox is an acute, highly contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), a double-stranded DNA virus belonging to the Herpesviridae family. Its transmission occurs primarily through the inhalation of respiratory droplets or direct contact with vesicular fluid from skin lesions. The incubation period typically ranges from 10 to 21 days, during which the virus replicates and disseminates through sequential phases within the host. Although generally self-limiting in children,...
Viral Meningitis01:18

Viral Meningitis

Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...
Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...
Poliomyelitis01:17

Poliomyelitis

Poliomyelitis is caused by poliovirus, a small, non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family and Enterovirus genus. Transmission occurs primarily via the fecal-oral route, often through ingestion of contaminated water or food. The virus initially replicates in the oropharynx and intestinal mucosa, particularly in lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils, Peyer’s patches, and regional lymph nodes. Primary viremia follows, allowing dissemination throughout the body.In most...
Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease01:29

Respiratory Syncytial Virus Disease

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a widespread pathogen that primarily targets infants and young children but also poses a serious health risk to elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Belonging to the Pneumoviridae family, RSV is a negative-sense, single-stranded RNA virus within the Pneumovirus genus. Its global health burden is significant, with millions of cases annually resulting in hospitalizations and mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings. Although most...

Area of Science:

  • Avian pathology
  • Veterinary virology
  • Poultry disease research

Background:

  • Proventricular lesions in broiler chicks can impact poultry health and production.
  • Understanding the etiology of proventricular disease is crucial for effective disease management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate and classify lesions in broiler chick proventriculi.
  • To determine the incidence of observed proventricular lesions.
  • To identify potential causative agents associated with these lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Light microscopy was used to examine 220 broiler chick proventriculi for histological lesions.
  • Ultrastructural examination was performed on five cases exhibiting characteristic lesions.
  • DNA in situ hybridization was employed to detect specific viral nucleic acids.

Main Results:

  • Deep non-purulent necrotizing proventriculitis with adenoepithelial changes was the most common diagnosis (49.5%).
  • Ultrastructural analysis revealed hexagonal virus particles within cell nuclei and cytoplasm.
  • Adenovirus and polyomavirus nucleic acids were not detected via DNA in situ hybridization.

Conclusions:

  • A significant association exists between observed proventricular lesions and the presence of intralesional virus particles.
  • The findings suggest a potential viral etiology for necrotizing proventriculitis in broiler chicks.
  • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the role of the identified virus in poultry disease.
