摘要
Village chicken flocks in two different regions of Morocco were studied for the presence of the causative organisms of pullorum disease and fowl typhoid. Serum samples and cloacal swabs were taken from 250 chickens in 50 farms in each region, and litter samples were taken from each farm. The overall seropositivity was 6%, 23.5% and 58% using the seroagglutination test with Salmonella pullorum antigen, and the microagglutination test and ELISA with Salmonella gallinarum antigen, respectively. Four isolates of S. gallinarum and four isolates of S. pullorum were made. The results show that village chickens can act as a reservoir for these bacteria, and thus any prophylactic campaign must take them into account.
