First report of avian infectious laryngotracheitis infection in broiler breeders in Turkey

Abstract

Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a very serious respiratory disease of poultry all over the world. For the last decade, many countries have reported the ILT disease. However, there is no report about ILT disease in broiler breeders in Turkey. In this study, we investigated ILT in broiler breeders on a poultry farm in Turkey. For this purpose, five samples were investigated from twenty-eight week old broiler breeders on a poultry farm, which consists of 5 flocks with 34.500 broiler breeders. The presence of ILT virus was determined by PCR targeting ICP4 gene (infected-cell polypeptide 4) and characterized by sequencing. This is the first report of the ILT in broiler breeders in Turkey

Türkiye’de broyler damızlık tavuklarda infeksiyöz laringotracheitis infeksiyonunun ilk bildirimi

Abstract

İnfeksiyöz laringotracheitis (ILT) tüm dünyada kanatlı hayvanların ciddi solunum sistemi hastalığıdır. Son on yılda birçok ülkede ILT infeksiyonu bildirilmiştir. Ancak, Türkiye’de broyler damızlıklarda ILT infeksiyonu bildirimi bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 28 haftalık broyler damızlık bulundurulan 34.500 kapasiteli 5 kümesten alınan 5 örnek incelendi. ILT virusunun varlığı, ICP4 geninin (infected-cell polypeptide 4) PZR ile çoğaltılması ve sekans analizi ile belirlendi. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de broyler damızlık tavuklarda ILT varlığının ilk bildirimidir
