Abstract The aim or This thesis was to study the incidence of Salmonellosis among newlv hatching duckling (local and imported) and duck eggs The incidence among the duck eggs was 18.18%. whereas it was 14.42% among the imported one day old ducklings and 9.44% among the local day old ducklings. Virulence attribute con firmed that all 0 I’ the Salmonella isolates were Congo red positive but with different combining intensities but only 69.23% of the examined isolates are mannose resist against both duck and chicken RBCs. 64.15 % against human RBCs and only 26.9% against guinea pig RBCs .also 0111)’46.15% were survived in duck sera for 6 hours while only 38.46% in chicken sera. S Enteritidis. S. Shubra and S. Haifa were indicated 100% cytopathic effect at all toxin dilutions (1120 - 1/320). The highest mortality was ccn in the mice infected with S. Enteritidis, S. Eingedi and S. Haifa « 80%).The isolates differ in its sensitivity against 16 different antibiotics. The result indicated that at an increased temperature. Salmonella serovars produced heat shock proteins in vitro. Also day old ducklings that have been experimentally infected produced heat shock proteins implying that some of these proteins are made in vivo. |
