  • Title: Rethinking our understanding of the pathogenesis of necrotic enteritis in chickens.
    Author: Van Immerseel F, Rood JI, Moore RJ, Titball RW.
    Journal: Trends Microbiol; 2009 Jan; 17(1):32-6. PubMed ID: 18977143.
    Abstract:
    For decades, low doses of antibiotics have been used widely in animal production to promote growth. However, there is a trend to reduce this use of antibiotics in feedstuffs, and legislation is now in place in Europe to prohibit their use in this way. As a consequence, economically important diseases, such as necrotic enteritis (NE) of chickens, that are caused by Clostridium perfringens have become more prevalent. Recent research is creating a paradigm shift in our understanding of the pathogenesis of NE and is now providing information that will be necessary to monitor and control the incidence of NE in poultry.
