<B>mapa epidemiológico de las principales enfermedades bacterianas presentes en aves de producción en la provincia de el oro</b>

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to investigate the different bacterial diseases that affect poultry production birds and develop a reference map of the different bacterial diseases that affect production birds, whether chickens or hens, in the province of El Oro. Bacterial diseases present health problems that produce significant economic losses, mainly due to reduced weight gain, decreased egg laying and increased morbidity and mortality of animals, as well as expenses for both medication, as in the costs for preventive measures; this disease can also affect public health in general. The most common diseases caused by bacteria, which occur in the province of El Oro, is colibacillosis produced by the bacteria called Escherichia coli and mycoplasmosis, whose main species found in Piñas, Balsas and Marcabelí are Mycoplasma gallisepticum or Mycoplasma synoviae. In order to have better management in poultry production, it is mandatory to have knowledge of the basic characteristics of bacterial pathogens, in addition to the clinical signs, pathological lesions that they present and, above all, to be aware of their forms and means of diffusion. Having this knowledge provides the main basis to set the methods for the diagnosis of bacterial diseases, as well as to have a better strategic intervention against them. Through the consultations, other local diseases were identified, such as the presence of Ascitic Syndrome, Avian Cholera, Salmonellosis and Necrotic Enteritis.
