Development and Validation of Two Diagnostic Real-Time PCR (TaqMan) Assays for the Detection of <i>Bordetella avium</i> from Clinical Samples and Comparison to the Currently Available Real-Time TaqMan PCR Assay
<i>Bordetella avium</i> (BA) is one of many pathogens that cause respiratory diseases in turkeys. However, other bacterial species can easily overgrow it during isolation attempts. This makes confirming the diagnosis of BA as the causative agent of turkey coryza more difficult. Currently...
