Key Points

To explore the diagnostic features, interventions by farmers, and molecular epidemiology associated with poultry erysipelas outbreaks.
Analyzed a series of cases from 1998 to 2023
Examined diagnostic features of erysipelas
Evaluated farmer interventions during outbreaks
Utilized pre-enrichment and selective culture techniques
Most outbreaks were found in organic and free-range laying hen flocks
Co-infections were common, necessitating selective culture
Isolates were often clonal, indicating similar sources of infection

Abstract

Erysipelas is an important differential diagnosis of severe viral diseases.Most of the outbreaks occurred in organic and free-range laying hen flocks.Pre-enrichment or selective culture is useful in case of suspected co-infection.Isolates from temporally clustered outbreaks on a farm are often clonal.
