“…Sensitivity to enrofl oxacin against R. anatipestifer was reported by Turbahn et al (1997). With regard to the sensitivity of ciprofl oxacin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol and doxyxycline, the results of the present study are in agreement with those of Shome et al (2004) and Priya et al (2008).…”

“…According to Rimler et al (1998) no selective and/or indicative media had been used for the isolation of R. anatipestifer and the isolation of the organism from clinical materials was sometimes diffi cult due to the overgrowth of other organisms (Higgins et al, 2000). Chocolate agar (Leavitt and Ayroud, 1997), ovine blood agar (Crasta et al, 2002) and ten per cent bovine blood agar (Priya et al 2008 andPala et al 2014) have reported to be useful for the primary isolation of R. anatipestifer.…”

“…In India, the disease has been reported in ducks from Assam and Kerala (Shome et al, 2004 andPriya et al,2008). Both R. anatipestifer and Pasteurella multocida reveal bipolarity in blood smear on Lieshman's / Giemsa staining.Both the organisms share common ecological and morphological characters .…”

“…When we succeed in controlling the existing disease, due to known and unknown global environmental changes, several new diseases are emerging. One such disease is the new duck disease in Kerala, reported since 2008 (Priya et al, 2008). It is an enzootic, contagious, often primary septicemic disease of domesticated ducklings (Fulton and Rimler, 2010).…”

New duck disease caused by Riemerella anatipestifer is a new disease emerged in Kerala from 2008 onwards. Six R. anatipestifer isolates responsible for the disease were isolated from suspected ducks from different outbreak areas of the state and were identifi ed. Since the ecological, morphological and cultural characteristics of R. anatipestifer are more or less similar to Pasteurella multocida, the disease is often confused with duck pasteurellosis and misdiagnosed. R. anatipestifer infection is also characterized by the presence of bipolar organisms in blood smear and impression smears of organs as in the case of P. multocida, but the size is little larger. The detection and identifi cation of the causative bacterium, from ducks with signs and lesions consistent with the acute or chronic form of the disease, is one of the most important aspects of disease diagnosis. Hence, a study was conducted to isolate the agent of new duck disease and stating its differential biotyping characters from that of P. multocida. They were differentiated using tests like indole production, gelatin liquefaction, ornithine decarboxylases utilization and fermentation of glucose. The antibiogram pattern was determined to advocate the choice of drug for the purpose of treatment. All the R. anatipestifer isolates were sensitive to chloramphenicol, ciprofl oxacin, enrofl oxacin, norfl oxacin, gentamicin, clindamycin, doxycycline and cefuroxime.

“…Recently, the presence of genetically diverse R. anatipestifer in Kerala, India has been confirmed by biochemical and molecular methods (Priya et al, 2008;Pala et al, 2013;Pala and Radhakrishnan, 2014). The objective of the present study was to reveal the molecular characterization of outer membrane protein A gene (ompA) from different isolates of Kerala as this could explore the possibility of using ompA of R. anatipestifer for developing accurate and prompt control and diagnostic strategies.…”

| New Duck disease or infectious serositis or anatipestifer syndrome, an epizootic infectious disease of poultry, caused by Riemerella anatipestifer is responsible for severe mortality in ducks world-wide. The present study reveals the molecular characterization of outer membrane protein A gene (ompA) of R. anatipestifer isolated from ducks of Kerala as well as its application for developing control and diagnostic strategies for New Duck disease. Outer membrane protein A gene of three isolates of R. anatipestifer from ducks of Kerala were amplified by PCR and cloned in T/A vector. After sequencing of the amplicons, the sequence similarity analysis was done using selected software. The sequence analysis of the gene showed that no much variation of ompA existed among the isolates and that all the isolates were similar to a Taiwanese strain of R. anatipestifer. The results emphasise that the ompA gene of R. anatipestifer could be utilised for developing diagnostic and control strategies for New Duck disease.
