[UDHAYACHANDRAN MUTHUKRISHNAN]

aMPV infections in poultry breeders. Particularly Turkeys, causes an acute, highly contagious upper respiratory tract infections, potentially leading to reproductive issues, reduced egg production and egg quality

[Dr. Pardhu Garimella]

Disease affecting respiratory system accompanied by mild facial oedema and congestion around orbital arches

Right, Thanks

Pathogenesis of Avian Metapneumovirus (aMPV) infection in breeders contains following steps

1.Virus Entry and initial infection

2.Viral Replication & Spread

3.Immune response

4.Secondary Infection

5.Systemic effects

6.Reproductive impact

7.Recovery or progression to chronic disease

8.Prevention & control ( Vaccination , biosecurity measures , good ventilation)

Here’s an explanation of the pathogenesis of Avian metapneumoviral (aMPV) infection among breeders

Step 1: Virus Entry

1. Inhalation

2. Attachment

Step 2: Virus Replication

1. Replication

2. Cell damage

Step 3: Immune Response

1. Innate immune response

2. Adaptive immune response

Step 4: Systemic Spread

1. Viremia

2. Systemic infection

Step 5: Clinical Symptoms

1. Respiratory symptoms

2. Reproductive symptoms

Step 6: Complications

1. Secondary infections
