Isolation, molecular detection, and sequence analysis of Avibacterium paragallinarum from suspected cases of infectious coryza infected chickens from different areas of Ethiopia, 2022–2024
The current investigation confirmed that the outbreaks were caused by Avibacterium paragallinarum and provided scientific evidence on the presence of different strains of Av. paragallinarum in Ethiopia. This is the first study in Ethiopia to detect and identify Av. paragallinarum from diseased chickens using molecular approaches. Further molecular characterization of locally circulating Av. paragallinarum isolates is recommended to be used as a vaccine strain for the prevention and control of infectious coryza.
