Infectious Coryza

Etiology

Infectious coryza (IC) is a respiratory disease primarily affecting chickens and occasionally pheasants and guinea-fowl. The disease is caused by Avibacterium paragallinarum, a gram-negative nonmotile bacterium.

Host Range

IC primarily affects chickens. Turkeys, ducks, and other wild avian species appear to be refractory to the infection. The disease has no public health significance for humans.
