A similar aspergillosis outbreak caused by mouldy grain killed 500 mallards in Iowa in 2005. [citation needed] While no connection has been found between aspergillosis and the H5N1 strain of avian influenza (commonly called "bird flu"), rapid die-offs caused by aspergillosis can spark fears of bird flu outbreaks. Laboratory analysis is the only ...
In addition to organ damage after inhalation of OTA, cases of allergy development have also been found. A disease named allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, has been found to be caused due to the antigenic effects of Aspergillus ochraceus. [32] Aspergillus ochraceus was found to be associated with the development of asthma in children too. [8]
Testing revealed that chickens fed with a variety of vitamin B12 produced with the residue of a specific antibiotic grew 50% faster than chickens fed with B12 from a different source. [2] Further research confirmed that antibiotic use improved chicken health, resulting in increased egg production, lower mortality rates, and reduced illness.
Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis is a long-term fungal infection caused by members of the genus Aspergillus—most commonly Aspergillus fumigatus. [8] The term describes several disease presentations with considerable overlap, ranging from an aspergilloma [12] —a clump of Aspergillus mold in the lungs—through to a subacute, invasive form known as chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis ...
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis; Other names: ABPA, Hinson-Pepys disease. The chest radiograph of an allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis patient shown with left-sided perihilar opacity (blue arrow) along with non-homogeneous infiltrates (transient pulmonary infiltrates indicated by red arrows) in all zones of both lung fields.
Chicken infectious anemia, caused by Chicken anaemia virus [5] Epidemic tremor, caused by Tremovirus [6] Fowlpox, caused by viruses in the genus Avipoxvirus; Infectious bursal disease (IBD), also known Gumboro disease, caused by Infectious bursal disease virus; Lymphoid leukosis caused by avian sarcoma leukosis virus; Marek's disease; Newcastle ...
Voriconazole, sold under the brand name Vfend among others, is an antifungal medication used to treat a number of fungal infections. [5] This includes aspergillosis, candidiasis, coccidioidomycosis, histoplasmosis, penicilliosis, and infections by Scedosporium or Fusarium. [5]
For example, contaminated poultry feed is the suspected source of aflatoxin-contaminated chicken meat and eggs in Pakistan. [3] Children are particularly vulnerable to aflatoxin exposure, which is linked to immune suppression, stunted growth, [4] delayed development, [5] aflatoxicosis, [6] and liver cancer. Some studies have reported an ...
