Objective: To describe the prevalence, clinical findings, lesions, and risk factors associated with chlamydial infections in free-ranging raptors presented to a university veterinary medical teaching hospital.
Methods: Medical records retrospectively searched for raptors admitted from January 1993 through April 2022 were tested for Chlamydia spp infections using quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry, culture, and sequencing. Findings were collected and analyzed.

Mycoplasma synoviae (MS) is a wall-less pathogen primarily transmitted through the respiratory tract, causing synovitis and airsacculitis in poultry, which leads to substantial economic losses in the poultry industry. China has a long-standing tradition of Chinese medicine with abundant medicinal resources, renowned for its safety, efficacy, and holistic regulatory effects. This study aims to screen a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound with anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties and preliminarily validate its in vitro efficacy against MS infections.

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) can spread beyond the intestines and cause systemic infections, leading to various clinical manifestations, including airsacculitis, pericarditis, perihepatitis and colisepticemia. The mechanisms facilitating this extraintestinal infections are not fully understood. In this study, we investigate how the tolA gene affects APEC virulence by encoding a protein involved in maintaining outer membrane integrity.

is an important opportunistic pathogen widely studied in relation to human infection and colonization. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding other niches that may inhabit. isolated from healthy broiler and turkey flocks in Norway in 2018 have previously been described with regard to population structure, sequence types (STs), and the presence of virulence- and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes.

Escherichia coli constitutes a major challenge to poultry even when the prevalence of colibacillosis is low. Additionally, specific E. coli strains can severely enhance the detrimental effects on productivity, animal welfare and antimicrobial use.
