Aspergillosis, a fungal disease caused by various species of the genus Aspergillus, poses a significant threat to the health and productivity of turkeys.
The current review aims to synthesize current knowledge regarding the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and management strategies associated with aspergillosis in turkeys.
A simple narrative literature review was conducted in Google Scholar, PubMed and ScienceDirect databases to identify relevant studies published in peer-reviewed journals. The review focused on the pathogenesis of aspergillosis in turkeys, clinical manifestations, diagnostic techniques and therapeutic strategies.
Aspergillosis typically results from environmental exposure to spores, particularly in settings with poor ventilation and high temperature and humidity, leading to respiratory distress and systemic disease. Clinical signs can vary widely, ranging from mild respiratory symptoms to severe systemic illness, which complicates diagnosis due to overlap with other respiratory diseases. Diagnostic approaches include clinical evaluation, necropsy findings and laboratory tests such as fungal culture and molecular techniques. Effective management requires a multifaceted strategy that encompasses improved biosecurity measures, environmental control and appropriate treatment protocols.
Understanding the epidemiology and impact of aspergillosis is crucial for developing effective preventive strategies and mitigating its economic consequences in turkey production. This review underscores the need for continued research to enhance diagnostic capabilities and therapeutic options, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes in turkey populations.
曲霉菌病是一种由曲霉菌属的多种真菌引起的疾病，对火鸡的健康和生产性能构成重大威胁。
本综述旨在综合目前关于火鸡曲霉菌病的病因、发病机制、临床表现、诊断方法及管理策略的相关知识。
在谷歌学术、PubMed和ScienceDirect数据库中进行了一项简单的叙述性文献综述，以识别发表在同行评审期刊上的相关研究。该综述聚焦于火鸡曲霉菌病的发病机制、临床表现、诊断技术及治疗策略。
曲霉菌病通常是由于环境中接触孢子所致，尤其是在通风不良、温度和湿度较高的环境中，可导致呼吸窘迫和全身性疾病。临床症状差异很大，从轻微的呼吸道症状到严重的全身性疾病不等，由于与其他呼吸道疾病症状重叠，这使得诊断变得复杂。诊断方法包括临床评估、尸检结果以及实验室检测，如真菌培养和分子技术。有效的管理需要多方面的策略，包括改善生物安全措施、环境控制和适当的治疗方案。
了解曲霉菌病的流行病学和影响对于制定有效的预防策略以及减轻其在火鸡生产中的经济后果至关重要。本综述强调需要持续开展研究以提高诊断能力和治疗选择，最终为改善火鸡群体的健康状况做出贡献。
