“…Both haemorrhages and congestion in blood vessels were observed during the investigation, indicating excessive amounts of blood present in the surrounding tissue, or within the blood vessels, respectively (Vanezis 2001). Gross pathology examinations showed signs of congestion in blood vessels, mostly in the head and lungs, which is compatible with previous descriptions of the West Nile, Influenza and Gumboro viruses in birds (Jindal et al 2004;Stallknecht 2007;Kozdrun et al 2015). The abdominal buildup of fluid found in some samples is a feature also described during investigations of H5N8/H5N1 infection in birds from the United Kingdom caused by heart and pulmonary failure (Julian 1993;Balog 2003;Lean et al 2021).…”

Terns are a highly migratory group of seabirds that are found worldwide. In Ireland, there are five species of commonly breeding tern: Little Tern Sternula albifrons, Roseate Tern Sterna dougallii, Arctic Tern S. paradisaea, Common Tern S. hirundo and Sandwich Tern S. sandvicensis. Prior work has demonstrated that whilst many Irish tern species, including Common and Roseate Terns, are increasing in abundance, the productivity of these species can be low. Multiple factors may influence the ability of adult terns to successfully raise chicks, including food availability, provisioning rates, colony density, dependence effects, and/or disease. Here, we investigated factors contributing to the mortality of young terns from Rockabill Island in the Republic of Ireland, which supports the largest breeding population of Roseate Terns in Europe. To better understand the factors contributing to the deaths of young birds, we analysed the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of necropsies of 60 young Common, Arctic and Roseate Terns. Of the carcasses that we examined, 41 showed congested blood circulation in the lungs and head simultaneously, and of the remaining 19 birds, only five presented a clear cause of death. Here, we outline descriptions of these carcasses in addition to recommendations of further investigations that might help to confirm the causal factors leading to young tern mortality.

“…The lesions associated with ND occurred more frequently (87.5%) than lesions of other diseases (1.1-5.7%). (Jindal et al, 2004). This report a rms that IBD is a disease of young chickens, because > 90% of the outbreaks occurred in those at < 9-week old and only 2.4% of the outbreaks were in > 9-week old (Table 4).…”

Acute infectious bursal disease (IBD) outbreak caused by virulent IBD virus undermines profitable chicken production in Nigeria. Veterinary clinic-based passive surveillance is carried out by postmortem diagnosis of clinical cases submitted during disease outbreaks. Records of IBD outbreaks from two veterinary hospitals in Maiduguri, Nigeria, were extracted among all disease outbreaks in chicken flocks in the period 2008-2018. Data showed that IBD outbreaks occurred in 493 (7.6%, [95% CI: 7.0-8.3%]) out of 6,486 disease outbreaks in chicken flocks within the period. The year-specific prevalence of outbreaks varied from 1.6% (95% CI: 0.9-2.3%) to 17.3% (95% CI: 12.9-21.7%) and fitted a linear trend (r = -0.73; P<0.01) over the years, with significant (P<0.001) association with the years. The chicken-type-specific prevalence varied significantly (P < 0.05) with 25.0% in Noilers (dual-purpose), 7.2% in broilers, 7.1% in layers, 9.1% in local chickens (9.1%) and 17.4% in exotic cockerels. The ages of chickens at the time of outbreaks were 2-27 weeks; modal age was 4-5 weeks while mean age was 5.0±1.7 weeks. The mortality rate was 12.6% (95% CI: 5.9-16.2) out of total flock size of 38,485 in 2015-2018. Specific lesions for diagnosis of acute IBD during surveillance were acute exudative inflammatory swelling of bursa of Fabricius [+/-hemorrhages] (90.9%), along with hemorrhages in thigh, leg and/or breast muscles (72.2%), mucosal hemorrhages at proventriculus-ventriculus junction [+/- enteritis] (24.9%), and nephropathy (7.7%); but few cases lacked bursal swelling (9.1%). Thus, acute IBD outbreak in chickens was endemic with time-related risk factors unaccounted for during passive surveillance.

Moringa oleifera, native to India, grows in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is commonly known as ‘drumstick tree’ or ‘horseradish tree’ and has gained attention in recent years for its nutritional and medicinal properties. This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current scientific understanding of Moringa oleifera. The review covers the plant's botany, nutritional composition, and phytochemical content. It also discusses the plant's pharmacological and medicinal properties, including its anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-viral and anti-microbial activities. Additionally, the review examines the potential applications of Moringa oleifera in food and agriculture, as well as its industrial uses, such as in biofuel production. Summarizing, this review article provides a comprehensive and scientific overview of Moringa oleifera, highlighting its potential as a valuable plant resource with numerous applications and benefits for human health and well-being. The review article also identifies areas for future research to further explore the plant's potential and unlock its full potential as a natural resource.
