Abstract:
An outbreak of spirochetosis occurred in a flock of 75 game chickens in California during fall 1991. Affected birds were weak and anemic. Many had greenish diarrhea. Spirochetes were seen on Giemsa-stained blood smears and in silver-stained tissue sections of kidney, liver, and spleen. Splenomegaly, which is reported to be characteristic of fowl spirochetosis, was not observed in two acutely infected chickens.
