INTRODUCTIONAvian coccidiosis is one of the most common enteric diseases of poultry, and it is caused by several protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria (1). The disease is characterized by reduced weight gain and feed conversion efficiency and is the most economically significant parasitic infection of the global poultry industry (2). Eimeria tenella is one of the seven most prevalent Eimeria sp ...

1. IntroductionThe application of antibiotics on poultry farms has been linked to the global emergence of multi-drug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in recent years (Benrabia et al., 2020; Kaonga et al., 2021). MDR bacteria can spread from food-producing animals to humans through direct contact with the food chain and the environment (Kirbis and Krizman, 2015). One-Health issues are still an im ...

The emergence of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) strains poses a significant threat to both avian populations and human health. Vaccination has been identified as a critical tool in mitigating the spread of HPAI. However, the acceptance and implementation of avian influenza vaccination programs have been met with opposition from various stakeholders, including poultry producers, public he ...

The H5N1 avian influenza virus poses a significant threat to poultry populations and human health, with sporadic outbreaks and the potential for pandemic emergence. Traditional vaccine development approaches have faced challenges in achieving broad spectrum protection due to the high mutation rate of the virus. This abstract outlines novel strategies that have emerged to address these hurdles. Fir ...

Avian Influenza Virus (AIV) poses a significant threat to both avian populations and human health due to its potential for zoonotic transmission. The emergence of highly pathogenic strains necessitates the development of innovative control strategies. This abstract presents a comprehensive overview of the potential of CRISPR-based technologies, Quorum Sensing (QS) systems, and the application of t ...

The experience. The silent entry of the Avian Influenza (AI) virus into Mexican territory, for the experience. In March 1994, a Low Pathogenicity (LP) subtype H5N2 virus entered Mexico stealthily and spread fast in poultry districts. The virus was common in flocks when discovered. It became an HP virus in December, jeopardizing food security. A biological was developed using biosafety. December 19 ...
