Pathogenicity and innate response to Avibacterium paragallinarum in chickens

ABSTRACT: Infectious coryza (IC) is an acute infectious upper respiratory disease in chickens. Recently, the prevalence of IC has increased in China. In this study, to clarify the pathogenic mechanism and innate immune response of Avibacterium paragallinarum (A. paragallinarum), an infection experim...
