ABSTRACT

Fowl typhoid (FT) and Avian paratyphoid (AP) are diseases caused by non-motile bacterium Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica biovar Gallinarum and motile non-typhoidal serovars (NTS) of Salmonella other thanGallinarum and Pullorum. The NTS serovars are non-host specific, associated with subclinical infection in poultry and foodborne diseases in humans. Eradication of FT in commercial poultry in some parts of the world was achieved through improved surveillance and culling. However, FT is an endemic disease of poultry in India with occasional outbreaks. Avian paratyphoid (AP) is an important bacterial disease of chickens worldwide. It is one of several types of diseases caused by infection with Salmonella spp. Chicks from hatcheries are most at risk. Infection may occur in birds of all ages. It can also cause huge morbidity and mortality loss. Accurate precision diagnosis of the pathogen is a prerequisite for formulating effective control measures for these infections. The conventional methods of detection of causative pathogens are laborious, less sensitive and time-consuming. Control measures by treatment and vaccination can reduce morbidity and mortality from salmonellosis in birds but do not eradicate infection. Improvement in detection methodology and adoption of rapid DNA-based detection techniques of the major Salmonella serovars is of utmost necessity. Rapid Salmonella detection methods of important Salmonella serovars were reviewed.
