Avian encephalomyelitis cases have been detected in chicks (future laying hens) in November 1997. It was the first time that the disease was diagnosed in Senegal. Typical lesions of the disease were revealed during the histological diagnosis and confirmed its presence. Vaccination against encephalomyelitis was not mandatory and some hatcheries did not vaccinate their breeding animals. The presence of the disease seems to require from now on a mandatory vaccination of all breeding animals in Senegal. In addition, there is the problem of vaccinating pullets, i.e. future laying hens. Actually, the egg drop syndrome is currently affecting the country, and the laboratory must first differentiate between encephalomyelitis, Newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis before making precise recommendations. In this respect, the ELISA technique will have to be used. Avian encephalomyelitis cases have been detected in chicks (future laying hens) in November 1997.

A diagnosis of chlamydiosis ornithosis was given to an outbreak of infectious Rhinotracheitis in Turkey Breeds. To certify such a statement, use of ELISA serological test for infectious diseases of the turkey has been perfected. ELISA appears to be the only suitable test in chlamydiosis of that species. Thus, it nas been applied in a general investigation among flocks free or not from clinical infectious rhinotracheitis : results show that the disease — despite an undetermined aetiology — is unlikely due to an infection by chlamydie., Un diagnostic de chlamydiose ornithose ayant été posé lors d'une épizootie de rhinotrachéite infectieuse de la dinde, nous avons mis au point la technique ELISA dans le sérodiagnostic de la chlamydiose de la dinde ; celle-ci se révèle pratiquement la seule méthode utilisable pour cette espèce, dans le cas de la chlamydiose. L’application de la méthode à une enquête sérologique sur troupeaux atteints et indemnes de rhinotrachéite infectieuse, montre que cette affection, d'étiologie encore obscure, ne relève très probablement pas d’une infection chlamydienne., Durand Maurice P., Limouzin Claude, Schricke E., Dayon Jean-François.
