The required culling of poultry to prevent disease spread.

An antiviral medication used for treating specific viral infections in birds.

Conditions affecting the body cavity that can cause respiratory signs in birds.

Key bacteria that cause respiratory infections in reptiles, including Mycoplasma and Mycobacterium.

Enhanced measures to prevent disease transmission in bird and reptile populations.

A bacterial infection in birds that affects respiratory health.

A fungal infection in birds primarily affecting their respiratory system.

Conditions that affect the respiratory system of reptiles, leading to symptoms like wheezing.

Medical procedure involving debridement or removal of abscesses in affected animals.

Systematic approach to diagnose respiratory illnesses in exotic pets.

Isolating new animals to prevent disease spread.

Rapid breathing observed in reptiles during stress.

Difficulty in breathing often shown by open mouth.

X-ray imaging used in diagnosing animal conditions.

Advanced imaging technique providing detailed cross-sectional views.

Blood tests to differentiate between infections in animals.

Conclusive identification of a disease via various tests.

Technique used to amplify DNA for identifying pathogens.

A fungal infection in birds characterized by white plaques, granulomas, and various respiratory issues.

Testing methods including cytology, histopathology, and fungal cultures before death.

Involves oxygen support, antifungal medications, and possible surgical removal of granulomas.

A viral infection affecting birds, often asymptomatic in wildlife, with serious risks to poultry.

Symptoms include sudden death, lethargy, reduced appetite, and respiratory issues.

Results may show pancreatic necrosis, hemorrhages, and edema in affected birds.

Use oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs for PCR and serological testing before death.

Incidents of avian flu must be reported to the state veterinarian immediately.

A disease caused by Chlamydia psittaci, leading to severe symptoms and potential death in birds.

Symptoms include airsacculitis, pericarditis, perihepatitis, peritonitis, bronchopneumonia, hepatic necrosis, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly.

Diagnosis involves PCR and serology (IgM, paired rising IgG) for acute disease identification.

Pooled fecal sample for PCR and serology (IgG) over 5-7 days for chronic diagnosis.

Tetracyclines, particularly doxycycline for 45 days; enrofloxacin is ineffective against elementary bodies.

Improved biosecurity involves quarantining new birds, preventing wild bird exposure, and thorough cleaning.

Symptoms include lethargy, anorexia, voice change, tachypnea, dyspnea, and weight loss.

A viral respiratory pathogen in reptiles, often linked to new introductions.

Another viral respiratory pathogen found in reptiles that may require isolation.

Fungal respiratory pathogens like Candida and Aspergillus found in reptiles.

The microscopic examination of cells to diagnose respiratory diseases.

An antifungal medication used for treating respiratory infections in reptiles.

A parasitic respiratory pathogen found in reptiles.

Process includes history, exam, imaging, and sample collection for respiratory disease.

Care methods for reptiles with respiratory diseases, including fluids and nutrition.
