MEVAC™ MULTI ADENO

Fowl Adenoviruses in Poultry Populations

Fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs) are common pathogens of poultry, causing a variety of diseases such as inclusion body hepatitis (IBH), hydropericardium syndrome (HPS), and gizzard erosion. FAdVs are classified into five species (FAdV-A to FAdV-E) and more than 12 serotypes based on their hexon and fiber genes.¹

FAdV-A and FAdV-C primarily cause respiratory diseases in poultry, while FAdV-D is associated with IBH, a severe liver disease characterized by the presence of eosinophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies in hepatocytes. IBH occurs in broiler and layer chickens, causing significant economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide.Clinical signs of IBH include anorexia, depression, increased thirst, yellow diarrhea, and increased mortality rates.¹  Try MEVAC™ MULTI ADENO to combat the effects of IBH and HPS in your operation.
