It is documented that these ILT outbreaks are due to the regaining of virulence of the vaccine viruses due to multiple bird to bird passages following vaccination. These vaccine-originated infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) isolates are known as vaccine revertants.

Newcastle disease (ND) control by vaccination and an institution of biosecurity measures is less feasible in backyard chicken in developing countries. *erefore, an alternative disease control strategy like the genetic selection of less susceptible chicken genotypes is a promising option. In the present study, genetic polymorphism of LEIO258 marker and association with sus- ceptibility to virulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) infection in Kuroilers, Sasso, and local Tanzanian chicken embryos were investigated.

Cookery is considered to be both an art and science. The art of cooking is ancient. The first cook was a primitive man, who had put a chunk of meat close to the fire, which he had lit to warm himself. He discovered that the meat heated in this way was not only tasty but it was also much easier to masticate. From this moment, in unrecorded past, cooking has evolved to reach the present level of sophistication. Humankind in the beginning ate to survive.

    ICAR-CAFT 31st Course ‘Diagnosis and Control of Emerging and Re-emerging Trans-boundary Diseases of Poultry’, Department of Veterinary Microbiology, LUVAS, Hisar, February 7-27, 2018. OIE GUIDELINES FOR DIAGNOSIS AND CONTROL OF POULTRY DISEASES N. K. Kakker Anita Dalal and Rajesh Chhabra Department of Veterinary Microbiology, College of Veterinary Sciences, Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar-125004, Haryana Poultry bird’s health is affected by number of bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, deficiency diseases, managemental and/ or environmental problems. Infectious and contagious diseases have potential of spread at alarming rate. A few diseases have produced historical panzootics along with zoonoses such as Avian Influenza, Newcastle disease, etc. which demand great attention to be prevented rather than treatment and control. The diagnosis and control of some of the important bacterial and viral diseases of poultry are discussed here. A. Diagnosis and Control of Bacterial Diseases 1. Fowl Cholera (Avian Pasteurellosis) is a commonly occurring bacterial disease of birds caused by Pasteurella multocida that affects all types of birds and is often fatal (Glisson et al. 2013). In the peracute form, fowl cholera is highly virulent and infectious. Diagnosis depends on the identification and isolation of causative bacteria (bipolar staining and usually encapsulated) from birds along with signs and lesions consistent with the disease. The isolation from visceral organs (liver, bone marrow, spleen, heart blood) of the birds in acute cases, and from exudative lesions of birds in chronic cases is easily achieved. However, isolation of the organism from birds having no clinical symptoms or decomposed birds is often difficult.
