| 英文描述 | Lymphoproliferative disease (LPD) is an infectious disease of turkeys mainly between 7-18 wk old characterized by anorexia, disinclination to move, and death. LPD has been reported in several countries of Europe. The disease may be endemic or sporadic in occurence and some flocks may have a low incidence. Males may be more susceptible to LPD. LPD spreads horizontally between poults in contact. The common gross lesion is splenomegaly. Affected spleens are usually marbled pale pink in appearance and can be as large as a chicken egg. Enlarged liver and peripheral nerves, anemia,leukocytosis, and leukopenic can also present. Mortality may be as high as 25% of the flock. Diagnosis is by the appearance of the disease and lesions. Polymerase chain reaction can be used for early diagnosis (Sarid et al.). |
