“…The sera for the protein analysis and agglutinin titering were pooled on a group basis. The total serum protein was determined by the biuret method (Wooton, 1964) and antigens for the agglutination test were prepared by the method of Yamamoto et al (1962). The agglutinin titers were determined using a tube agglutination technique.…”

There was a significant (P less than 0.05) interaction resulting in increased mortality in chickens fed aflatoxin and infected with Salmonella worthington, S. thompson, S. derby, or S. typhimurium var. copenhagen which cause paratyphoid. There was no interaction on body weight or spleen weight; however, there wan an interaction with all four Salmonella species resulting in enlarged livers from which Salmonella could be isolated with increased frequency. Aflatoxin caused a decrease in total serum proteins but a dramatic increase in anti-Salmonella agglutinins in infected birds. These results suggest that aflatoxin impairs some component of the immune system other than that forming humoral antibodies and perhaps other than the reticuloendothelial system which have been reported previously to be impaired during aflatoxicosis in the chicken.

“…The rapid-whole-blood test is most widely used for the detection of pullorumtyphoid while the tube agglutination test is usually used for the detection of carriers of S. typhimurium infection, especially in turkey flocks. The ability of the present S. typhimurium tube agglutination test to dependably detect both infected turkeys and chickens has frequently been questioned (Yamamoto et al, 1962;Olesiuk et al, 1969).…”

SUMMARYA rather extensive collection of literature on the detection of salmonellae in poultry production flocks has developed during the past quarter century. This review, which is an annotated bibliography of 80 references, brings recently reported findings and observations of 117 researchers together into one text for better understanding and appreciation of the present state of knowledge of the subject matter covered. Most references cited cover work completed during the last 10 to 15 years.Discussed in this review is pertinent literature on the detection of salmonellae in breeder flocks, in hatcheries, and in egg production and broiler flocks. The review clearly shows that much is known about the detection of salmonellae in all aspects of poultry operations, and a goal of the future should be more widespread application of all the available literature as cited in this review. Snoeyenbos etal. (1967) have suggested that detection of paratyphoid-infected flocks on a practical basis remains one of the most serious unsolved problems in controlling salmonellosis of poultry. Efforts to eliminate the infections are very often hindered by limited knowledge of the capabilities of methods available to detect and diagnose them. In view of the importance of this subject matter, a review of current scientific literature on detection of salmonellae in poultry is presented here. INTRODUCTION

Microantiglobulin Test for Detecting Salmonella typhimurium Agglutinins

A sensitive antiglobulin (AG) test procedure for the demonstration and experimental study of the agglutinin response of chickens infected orally with Salmonella typhimurium is described. A tetrazolium-stained S. typhimurium antigen was employed with microagglutination techniques and equipment for the first time in conducting the AG test. Results with the conventional macroscopy tube agglutination test for S. typhimurium and the 24-hr microtest were comparable; however, the AG test enhanced titers as much as 16 times, and these persisted at a significant level for as long as 4 months. This study is being extended to other Salmonella serotypes and possible field applications of the AG test procedure.
