Introduction The chicken gastrointestinal tract (GIT) harbors a very diverse microbiota, dominated by Bacteria, that influences health and growth performance of chicken. A healthy microbiota provides nutrients to the host and promotes competitive exclusion [1]. The composition of the GIT microbiota differs according to diet, age and genotype of hosts as well as the portion of the intestinal tract, among others [2]). The poultry industry has adopted the use of dietary additives...
Introduction Campylobacter is a gram-negative commensal bacterium in the gastrointestinal tract of multiple wild and domesticated animal species [1]. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Campylobacter is estimated to cause 1.3 million cases of human illness in the United States annually [2]. In 2019, Campylobacter was the leading cause of U.S. foodborne illness, with an overall incidence of 19.5 per 100,000 population [3]. The...
1. Introduction Infectious bronchitis (IB) and Newcastle disease (ND) are highly transmissible diseases that cause substantial economic losses in the poultry industry [1, 2]. Infectious bronchitis is caused by infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), a gammacoronavirus with a single-stranded positive sense RNA genome [3]. Newcastle disease is caused by virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), a paramyxovirus with a single-stranded negative sense RNA genome [4]. Infectious...
Introduction Avian influenza viruses (AIV) infect animals and humans [1] and thus are of major relevance under the one health context. They are enveloped viruses belonging to Alphainfluenzavirus from Orthomyxoviridae family [2]. These negative sense and single-stranded RNA viruses present a genome that is fragmented into eight segments which encode for eleven proteins. These proteins possess individual function or form complexes during viral replication. The mechanisms underlying...

Introduction Coccidiosis is a parasitic infection caused by Eimeria spp and persistently affecting broiler chicken, causing high morbidity, impaired growth, and mortality [1]. Unlike many other protozoan parasites, Eimeria spp exclusively invades the intestinal epithelium showing high tissue specificity [2]. Eimeria (E.) maxima is characterized by producing the largest oocysts and male gamonts among the other species infecting chicken [3]. E. maxima particularly infects chickens at...
1. Introduction The digestive tract serves as a selective regulator of nutrient intake and is the site of interaction with commensal and pathogenic bacteria [1]. Pathogenic colonization of the gut has negative effects on enterocyte permeability, ion transport and the structure of the mucosa [2]. Campylobacter jejuni is considered responsible for several gastrointestinal diseases in humans, with high consumption of chicken meat and poultry products being associated with human...
1. Introduction Salmonella enterica is one of the main causes of foodborne disease, representing a worldwide problem for public health systems [1]. This species consists of more than 2600 serovars described to date [2,3]. S. enterica serovars can cause infections in humans ranging from gastroenteritis, associated with non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS), to typhoid fever [4]. NTS are estimated to cause more than 93.8 million infections and 155,000 deaths per year globally [5,6]. The main...
1. Introduction Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) comprises multiple serovars of Salmonella enterica that can cause self-limiting or invasive enteric disease and are transmitted to humans mainly through contaminated food [1,2]. The consumption of poultry products represents a common route of NTS transmission to humans [3], and the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among NTS isolates has become a serious concern [4,5]. Most gastrointestinal infections...
