Poultry erysipelas – a case series from 1998–2023, highlighting diagnostic features, farmer interventions and molecular epidemiology
RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Erysipelas is an important differential diagnosis of severe viral diseases.Most of the outbreaks occurred in organic and free-range laying hen flocks.Pre-enrichment or selective culture is useful in case of suspected co-infection.Isolates from temporally clustered outbreaks on a farm are often clonal.
