Respiratory disease spreading among chicken - ARY NEWS

KARACHI: A respiratory disease similar to the coronavirus is rapidly spreading among chicken across the country, ARY News reported on Thursday.

It must be mentioned that poultry retail prices have increased over the past week, and chicken meat was being sold between Rs520-600 per kg.

What is Infectious Coryza in Chickens?

Infectious coryza is an acute respiratory disease of chicken characterized by decreased activity, nasal discharge, sneezing, and facial swelling that occurs worldwide.

The disease apparently affects only chicken; reports in quail and pheasants likely describe a similar disease caused by a different bacterium.

In countries such as the US, the disease is seen primarily in pullets and laying hens and occasionally in broilers. In lower- and middle-income countries, the disease often is seen in very young chicks (eg, 3 weeks old).

Inadequate biosecurity practices and environmental factors may contribute. Infectious coryza is not a zoonotic disease (transferable to humans) and thus lacks public health importance.

surgical multi specialties medical group :: Article Creator The Decline And Fall Of Elite Multispecialty Medical Groups The failure of Geisinger Health System, which lost $842 million in 2022 and disappeared into a new Kaiser subsidiary called Risant, sent shockwaves through the health care community in the spring of 2023. Founded in 1919, Geisinger was in the vanguard of the so-called "value-based care" movement. It sponsored a regionally significant 600,000-member health plan and served as the home of an exceptionally high-quality 1,600-person multispecialty medical group. While Covid-related financial pressures, fateful management decisions, and troubled regional economic conditions all contributed to Geisinger's demise, federal health policy may have played a crucial role — and it could bring down other multispecialty groups in 2024 and beyond.
