Common viral diseases in poultry present with distinct clinical markers: Newcastle Disease causes neurological twisting of the neck, Infectious Bronchitis leads to respiratory gasping and wrinkled eggs, and Fowl Pox is identified by wart-like scabs on the comb. Additionally, Marek’s Disease results in leg paralysis, Infectious Bursal Disease (Gumboro) manifests as whitish diarrhea and severe depression, and Avian Influenza is often signaled by a bluish discoloration (cyanosis) of the comb and wattles.
