Article Abstract

The present study offers the first description of proventriculitis associated with the presence of gravid female nematodes of the genus (Nematoda: Tetrameridae) in 3 juvenile Magellanic penguins () found dead on the coast of Brazil. This study broadens knowledge on parasites associated with these hosts and the real impact of this association.

Transmissible viral proventriculitis (TVP) and chicken proventricular necrosis virus (CPNV) affect the broiler industry globally and are emerging diseases of economic importance. Here, we present the findings of TVP from processed broiler carcasses in Argentina following marked condemnation at the processing plant. We studied a total of 122 abnormally presenting proventriculi at processing from 42-to-50-day-old, male Cobb500 broiler chicken carcasses from 11 farms belonging to the same company in 13 episodes of proventriculi-gizzards condemnation between December 2021 and April 2022.

Chicken astroviruses (CAstV) were associated with retarded growth, enteritis, kidney diseases, and white chick syndrome. In the current study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of CAstV infection on growth, performance, and gross and histopathological picture of commercial chicken flocks suffering increased culling rate and decreased performance. Samples were collected for virus isolation, identification, and sequencing on day one, 15 days, and 30 days of age.

Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is a retroviral pathogen capable of infecting several avian hosts and is associated with immunosuppression, anemia, proventriculitis, neoplasia, and runting-stunting syndrome. Its genome contains the three major genes, , , and , and two flanking long terminal repeat (LTR) regions. Complete genome sequences of REV are limited in terms of geographical origin.

Article Synopsis
  • Gyrovirus 3 (GyV3) is a new virus linked to infections in chickens, showing connections to symptoms like diarrhea and anemia but lacking direct causal evidence.
  • Infected chickens demonstrated severe health issues including weight loss, immunosuppression, and persistent inflammation across various organs, with specific focus on bone marrow and kidneys as target tissues.
  • The study's findings highlight the immunosuppressive nature of GyV3 and its ability to cause systemic infections, providing insight into its biology and potential impacts on chicken health.
