CANDIDIASIS Slide 5
 Listlessness-Matamlay
Slide 1
 Mycotic disease it means it is infection
or disease cause by fungi
 Candida spp are part of the normal
microflora of the GI tract of many
species, including birds.
 Microflora helps in digestion.
 Candidiasis is an opportunistic infection
that occurs when the normal microflora
has been disrupted
Slide 2
 In connection gihapon sa una nga slide.
Gin hambal ko gina, nga ang Candida
spp. are typically part of the commensal
GI mycobiota of healthy poultry
 Since they are opportunistic, once na
indi sakto ang ginahatag nga dose sang
antibiotics sa mga poultry animals kag
mahigko ang gina ilimnan kag ginakaon
nanda. So there are disturbances on the
of GI normal microflora sang birds that
results Candidiasis.
Slide 3
 Candida species are a normal part of a
healthy chicken's microflora, but
overgrowth can occur when the balance
is disrupted.
 Factors such as prolonged or
inappropriate antibiotic use, underlying
illness, malnultrition, stress,etc,.
Slide 4
 Candida albicans and other Candida
species can cause infection and
inflammation in the crop and other parts
of the alimentary tract in poultry.
 Candidiasis lesions are most frequently
found in the crop and consist of
thickened mucosa and whitish, raised
pseudomembranes. The same lesions
may occur in the mouth and esophagus.
Occasionally, shallow ulcers and
sloughing of necrotic epithelium may
be present.
 This is a normal crop of a turkey. Note
the smooth mucosal surface.
Slide 6
 A. Crop of a turkey with candidiasis.
Note the whitish plaques and
pseudomembranes, with similar lesions
in the mouth and esophagus.
 B. Crop of a layer chicken with
candidiasis. Note that many lesions are
similar with image A, with shallow
ulcers, sloughing, and necrosis, are
evident.
Slide 7- Diagnosis
 Diagnosis of candidiasis can be
confirmed by histologic demonstration
of tissue invasion.
Slide 9-Treatment
 Nystatin has been used to treat
candidiasis in poultry
Coccidiosiss
