    Question: Identify the following disease caused in poultry due to fungal infection?

    Options:

    Aspergillosis
    Enteritis
    Paratyphoid
    Pullorum

    -Except Aspergillosis, rest of the diseases are caused by a bacterial infection in poultry.
    -These fungal/mycotic diseases cause significant loss to the poultry industry due to rapid production of mycotoxins which is a secondary fungal metabolite produced in grains or poultry feed.
    -Birds affected by aspergillosis are usually thin, lethargic and may present with open mouth breathing.
    -Aspergillosis tends to be a chronic disease but can develop quickly depending on the number of spores inhaled.
    -In birds that are chronically infected, either yellow to white thickened areas or thick mats of white to green fungus are present in the lungs and air sacs.
