Pullorum-Typhoid (P-T) is a disease caused by a Salmonella species that infects chickens, turkeys, and other types of poultry. This disease is egg-transmitted and can produce high death loss in the young birds. Birds that survive a P-T infection are carriers for life and can infect other birds.
How is Pullorum-typhoid transmitted?
Key Points. S enterica Pullorum causes high mortality in young chickens and turkeys and is transmitted from infected hens (vertical) or horizontally from infected birds or contaminated feed, water, or litter.
How do you prevent Pullorum?
