Pullorum disease
The genus Salmonella contains over 2400 documented species, many of which are important pathogens in humans and animals. Infection with Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum causes in birds pullorum disease, also known as Bacillary White Diarrhoea by the typical white droppings of infected birds. The Salmonella enterica serovar Pullorum is highly adapted to infect birds. However, cases have been reported in primates.
Clinical signs are characteristic of a septicaemic condition in poultry and accounts for increased mortality and reduced quality of chicks hatched from infected eggs. The older birds show signs of anemia, depression, difficulty breathing and diarrhea caused by adhesion of the feces in the cloaca. The highest mortality occurs in birds 2-3 weeks of age. The disease in older birds may be slight or negligible. (1.3)
