Embryo Lethality Assay for Evaluating Virulence of Isolates from Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis in Broilers [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractWe used an embryo lethality assay (ELA) to assess virulence for different isolates from cases of bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) in broilers. ELA has been used to measure virulence and lethal dosage of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus cecorum.

Optimum Time to Add the Feed Additive Availa-ZMC to Reduce the Incidence of Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis Lameness in Broiler Chickens [PDF]
, 2023 Lameness is a health condition threatening the welfare of broiler chickens in the poultry industry. It can be caused by a bacterial infection called Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO).

Discontinuities in the endothelium of epiphyseal cartilage canals and relevance to joint disease in foals [PDF]
, 2015 Cartilage canals have been shown to contain discontinuous blood vessels that enable circulating bacteria to bind to cartilage matrix, leading to vascular occlusion and associated pathological changes in pigs and chickens.

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 625-629, April 2020., 2020 In rare cases, pancreatic enzymes can enter the bloodstream and cause fat necrosis in the bone and tissue leading to a disorder called pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis syndrome. Clinicians should have this syndrome in mind when treating patients with pancreatitis.

A novel psittacine adenovirus identified during an outbreak of avian chlamydiosis and human psittacosis: zoonosis associated with virus-bacterium coinfection in birds [PDF]
, 2014 Chlamydophila psittaci is found worldwide, but is particularly common among psittacine birds in tropical and subtropical regions. While investigating a human psittacosis outbreak that was associated with avian chlamydiosis in Hong Kong, we identified a ...

Genome Analysis of Staphylococcus agnetis, an Agent of Lameness in Broiler Chickens. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lameness in broiler chickens is a significant animal welfare and financial issue. Lameness can be enhanced by rearing young broilers on wire flooring. We have identified Staphylococcus agnetis as significantly involved in bacterial chondronecrosis with ...

Poultry Science, 2013 Growing broilers on wire flooring provides an excellent experimental model for exposing susceptibility to lameness attributable to bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). Two independent experiments (E1, E2) were designed to compare the susceptibilities of broilers from 4 commercial crosses (W, X, Y, and Z).

Analysis of genomes of bacterial isolates from lameness outbreaks in broilers
Poultry Science, 2021 : We investigated lameness outbreaks at 3 commercial broiler farms in Arkansas. We isolated several distinct bacterial species from Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO) lesions from these 3 farms.
