Light-microscope and electron-microscope studies of a coccidial organism found in the bursa of Fabricius from 3 chickens clearly established the parasite as belonging to the family Cryptosporiidae. Hyperplasia and heterophil infiltration were associated with the presence of organisms attached to the microvillus border of epithelial cells lining the plicae of the bursa of Fabricius. Although there were no clinical signs or gross lesions common to the 3 cases described, all had similar histologic lesions in the epithelium lining the bursa of Fabricius. 相似文献

Cryptosporidiosis in chickens from southern Spain is reported. Cryptosporidia were found in the trachea, esophagus, and epithelium of the bursa of Fabricius in chickens from different regions. In one flock, cryptosporidiosis was associated with respiratory problems and high mortality. In another flock, it was associated with low mortality and weight loss. 相似文献

Electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry were used to study the development of lymphoid leukosis virus infection in the bursa of Fabricius of experimentally infected chicken embryos and chickens. In embryos infected at 7 days of incubation and killed 10 days later, virus particles and group-specific viral antigen were confined mainly to the connective tissue of the lamina propria of the bursal mucosal folds; a few developing follicles had discrete virions and group-specific antigen between cells. In chickens infected at 1 day of age, infection (as determined by use of electron microscopy and immunocytochemistry) was maximal in 1- to 4-month-old birds, and the greatest concentration of virus and group-specific viral antigen was in the medulla of the follicles. Although lymphoid leukosis virus was released from lymphocytes, epithelial cells, and macrophages, virus replication in the medullary macrophages was more active than that in the other cells. Normal medullary macrophages had cell membrane vesicles (50 to 80 nm in diameter) that covered part of all of the cell membrane surface. In infected chickens, virus particles frequently developed within these vesicles. Comparable vesicles were not found on cortical macrophages. Results of the present study indicated that the medullary macrophage was the principal host cell for replication of lymphoid leukosis virus in the bursa of Fabricius of the chicken. 相似文献

Histomoniasis was diagnosed in a flock of 6-wk-old commercial chickens. Clinical signs included depression, stilted gait, inappetence, and a slight increase in mortality. At necropsy, there were pale-yellow to dark-gray circular and depressed necrotic lesions in the liver. The ceca were enlarged and impacted with caseous cores. Cecal worms were not observed either at necropsy or on histopathology. Histomonads were demonstrated microscopically within the bursa of Fabricius in addition to the liver, ceca, and spleen. This is the first report of the presence of histomonads in the bursa of Fabricius in commercial chickens. 相似文献

Quantitative stereological study of the bursa of Fabricius in Prelux chickens was performed 3 and 6 months after neonatal gonadectomy. The different structural changes were revealed in bursal follicles, epithelium and stroma of male and female chickens. In orchidectomized animals, the weight of bursa was increased compared to the nonoperated males. Stereological analysis revealed that the absolute amount of bursal follicles was increased due to the increased mass of follicular medulla. The number of areas of follicle-associated epithelium at the bursal mucosa, which in a mature bursa corresponds to the follicle number, was decreased. The height of follicle-associated epithelium (3 months) was decreased and the diameter of the follicle-associated epithelium (6 months) was increased. No changes in the surface density of bursa] epithelium was registered 3 and 6 months after neonatal gonadectomy. In ovariectomized chickens the weight of bursa was decreased in comparison to the nonoperated females. Histoquantitative analysis showed that the bursal follicular mass was decreased due to the decreased absolute amount of follicular medulla (3 and 6 months) and cortex (6 months), whereas the number and diameter of follicles were not changed. The height of interfollicular and follicle-associated epithelium was decreased, but no changes in the surface density of bursal epithelium was registered. Relative proportion of bursal stroma was increased. The studies presented further support of the concept that the functional relation between gonads and bursa of Fabricii exists during the postnatal period in the chicken. 相似文献

The effect of a systemic disease on the dynamics of iron, zinc, and copper in chickens fed ad libitum was examined by infecting 10-day-old specific pathogen-free chickens with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Liver, bursa of Fabricius, pancreas, spleen, and serum were sampled in 10 controls and 10 challenged chickens at 3-day intervals postinfection (PI) for 15 days. The samples were analyzed using atomic absorption spectroscopy. Serum levels were similar to that reported in the literature. Concentrations of iron and zinc did not change significantly in the pancreas, but there was an increase in copper in infected pancreatic tissue on days 9 and 15 PI. Iron concentration in the spleen showed a significant increase on days 6, 9, and 15 PI, whereas zinc was only significantly increased on day 15 PI. There was no significant change in copper concentrations in the spleens of infected chickens vs. controls. This finding is in line with previously reported data. The results showed that the liver was not a major tissue where iron and zinc were sequestered, as previous data have shown in mammals. Instead, the bursa of Fabricius had significantly increased levels of both iron and zinc in infected tissue vs. control tissue from 9 days PI on. Furthermore, the bursa had increased levels of copper in the latter portion of the study. These findings suggest that the bursa of Fabricius rather than the liver is the major organ for metallic ion sequestering during IBDV infection. 相似文献

Developmental stages of Cryptosporidium baileyi were observed on the epithelium of the larynx, trachea, primary and secondary bronchi, air sacs, bursa of Fabricius, and cloaca of 12 chickens inoculated intra-abdominally with oocysts. All 12 birds inoculated intra-abdominally developed clinical signs of respiratory disease and had gross lesions of airsacculitis at necropsy. Developmental stages of C. baileyi and clinical signs of disease were not observed in 12 chickens inoculated intravenously with oocysts. The response of chickens to intra-abdominal inoculation of oocysts was similar to responses recorded following intratracheal inoculation of oocysts in previous studies. 相似文献

Seventy-three percent of chickens inoculated with the chick syncytial strain of reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) at hatching developed lymphomas by 39 weeks of age. Neonatal treatment with cyclophosphamide or surgical bursectomy at 2, 4, 8, or 12 weeks of age significantly (P less than 0.01) reduced lymphoma development. In a further experiment, surgical bursectomy of REV-infected chickens followed by intravenous inoculation of the chickens with a single cell suspension of their own bursa cells at 2, 4, 9, or 13 weeks of age resulted in lymphoid tumors in chickens treated at 9 or 13 weeks but not in chickens treated at 2 or 4 weeks of age. Furthermore, this treatment did not shorten the incubation period for lymphoma development. These findings argue very strongly that transforming target cells are primarily in the bursa of Fabricius. The data also suggest that a minimum residency of 4 weeks in the bursa is required for infected bursa cells to become transformed. Therefore, lymphomagenesis induced by REV in chickens appears similar to that induced by the avian leukosis virus group. 相似文献

The pathogenicity of serotype 2 OH strain of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) to specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chicken embryos and 2-wk-old SPF chickens and turkey poults was investigated. The virus was pathogenic for chicken embryos after five passages as evidenced by pathologic changes in inoculated embryos. The embryo-adapted virus was not pathogenic for 2-wk-old SPF chickens and turkey poults as indicated by lack of clinical signs, gross or microscopic lesions in the bursa of Fabricius of inoculated birds. Bursa-to-body-weight ratios of the inoculated chickens and turkey poults were not significantly different from those of uninoculated controls. Virus-neutralizing antibodies to serotype 2 IBDV were detected in inoculated chickens and turkeys. Results of this study indicated that the embryo-adapted serotype 2 OH IBDV isolate that is pathogenic for chicken embryos is infectious but not pathogenic in chickens and turkeys. 相似文献

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) Cal99 variant was isolated from the kidneys of seven 2-5-mo-old game chickens with nephritis and respiratory disease. IBV Cal99 variant is usually associated with respiratory disease in broiler chickens in California. Macroscopically, the majority of the birds had moderately to severely enlarged and mottled pale kidneys, with increased urates in the ureters. Microscopically, most of the birds had acute nephrosis and interstitial nephritis. The birds also had sinusitis, tracheitis, bronchopneumonia, airsacculitis, salivary gland adenitis, and lymphoid depletion in the thymus and bursa of Fabricius. Immunohistochemistry was strongly positive for IBV antigen in the cytoplasm of tubular epithelial cells in the kidneys and also in the epithelium of the respiratory tract, salivary glands, proventriculus, intestine, and bursa of Fabricius. Infectious bronchitis virus was isolated from the trachea, lungs, kidneys, and cecal tonsils. Sequencing of the hypervariable region of the S1 gene of the kidney IBV isolate, designated IBV/CA99variant/07, revealed that the virus was 98% homologous to the Cal99 serotype of IBV. 相似文献

Replication of a waterfowl-origin influenza virus in the kidney and intestine of chickens 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Intravenous inoculation of chickens with a waterfowl-origin type A influenza virus resulted in high titers of virus in kidney tissues and viral nucleoprotein in renal tubular epithelial cells and in intestinal mucosal epithelial cells. Virus titers in kidneys of four of eight clinically normal chickens sampled on days 3 and 5 postinoculation (PI), one dead chicken on day 3 PI, and one dead chicken on day 7 PI exceeded 10(6) mean embryo infectious dose per gram of tissue. Using immunofluorescent and immunoperoxidase staining, viral nucleoprotein was identified in the cytoplasm and nucleus of tubular epithelial cells in kidneys and in nucleus of mucosal epithelial cells lining villi in the lower small intestine. Based on the low intravenous pathogenicity index for this virus (0.3) along with the high virus titers in kidney tissues and localization of viral antigen in kidney important site for replication of avian influenza (AI) virus of low pathogenicity. Recovery of type A influenza viruses from cloacal swabs could result from viral replication in kidneys as well as in the lower intestine and/or the bursa of Fabricius. 相似文献

Distribution of immunoglobulin (Ig)-containing cells and secretory component in internal organs of two 15-day-old embryos and 17 chickens, 1 to 480 days old, were examined by fluorescent antibody technique. In 15-day-old embryos, Ig-containing cells were not found in gut, bursa, spleen, or thymus. The bursa of Fabricius synthesized IgM, IgG, and IgA in as young as 1-day-old chicks. In extrabursal organs, IgM-containing cells were already present in intestine of 1-day-old chicks, but IgA-containing cells appeared in intestine, thymus, and spleen between the 3rd and 7th day after hatching. Very few IgG-containing cells were in intestine on the 3rd and 7th day after hatching. Secretory component was found in epithelial surfaces of intestine and ductus choledochus of most chickens examined. The presence of secretory component and IgA-containing cells in intestine supported the existence of secretory-immunologic system in chickens. 相似文献

Immunohistochemical identification of group specific antigen in avian leukosis virus infected chickens. 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 An indirect immunoperoxidase method was employed in the detection of the group specific antigen of avian leukosis virus in the oviduct, spleen, myocardium and bursae of Fabricius of chickens. In the magnum of the oviduct the group specific antigen was detected at the base and in the lumina of glands. In the spleen the group specific antigen was found in and around the arterioles, sheathed capillaries, and in the capsular tissue. In the myocardium the group specific antigen was present in the intercellular spaces and also in some myocardial cells. The bursa of Fabricius had concentrations of the group specific antigen in the medullary parts of follicles over the surface of large lymphoid cells. Absolute ethyl alcohol with acetone and modified Bouin's fluid were suitable as fixatives for preserving the group specific antigen in specimens embedded into low melting point paraffin. 相似文献

Very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) causes high mortality in chickens but measures to reduce the mortality have not been explored. Chickens (8–9 weeks) were treated with 3 agents before and during vvIBDV inoculation. Dexamethasone treatment reduced the mortality of infected chickens (40.7% vs. 3.7%; p < 0.001), but treatment with aspirin or vitamin E plus selenium did not affect the mortality. The bursa of Fabricius appeared to have shrunk in both dead and surviving chickens (p < 0.01). The results indicate that dexamethasone can reduce mortality in vvIBDV-infected chickens and may provide therapeutic clues for saving individual birds infected by the virus. 相似文献

Newly hatched chickens were significantly protected against challenge by the virulent S6 strain of Mycoplasma gallisepticum after vaccination with the TS 100 mutant. Removal of the thymus did not abolish the protective effect of the vaccine, but removal of the bursa of Fabricius did. The results suggest that the resistance induced by vaccine is mediated by the bursal-dependent lymphoid cells. 相似文献

Hybrids produced from crossing Cornell K-strain white leghorn chickens and Line II Japanese quails were studied for susceptibility to infection with infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV). Quail-chicken hybrids were infected successfully following inoculation with IBDV at 14, 21, or 52 days of age. In most cases, precipitating antibodies were detected in serum by 10 days postinoculation (PI). Although no clinical signs or gross lesions were evident in the bursa of Fabricius of hybrids, histologic changes in the bursa were detected upon microscopic examination using hematoxylin and eosin staining. Chickens were successfully infected also; they had gross and microscopic lesions in the bursa and produced precipitating antibodies. In addition, staining of bursal sections with low concentrations of peroxidase-conjugated concanavalin A revealed a rearrangement of a leukocyte cell type (probably macrophages) in infected chickens and hybrids. Japanese quails were refractory to infection; they showed no bursal changes and did not form precipitating antibodies. 相似文献

The relationship between delayed onset of oviposition and involution of the bursa of Fabricius is described. Chickens studied were 26 weeks of age and had not come into production. The bursae of nonlaying chickens were compared with those of age-matched chickens that had laid the first egg 1, 9 to 11, or 24 days before. The bursae from the nonlaying chickens were similar in weight and morphology to the functional bursae of immature pullets. Bursae of laying chickens, even on the day of the first egg, were markedly involuted. Age of the chicken was not a factor in determining bursal involution. The onset of egg production was directly related to bursal involution. 相似文献
