This document provides a historical overview of Clostridia and necrotic enteritis (NE) in poultry. It describes how NE was first identified in the 1930s and research in the 1940s-1960s helped characterize the disease. As outbreaks increased globally in the 1960s-1970s, the widespread use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry feed helped prevent NE. However, this led to concerns about antibiotic resistance in the 1980s-1990s. Many European countries then banned AGP use in the 1990s-2000s, which reduced resistance but increased NE outbreaks until alternative prevention methods were adopted.
This document provides an overview of coccidiosis in poultry, including: Coccidiosis is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Eimeria. There are seven species that commonly infect chickens, each infecting a specific site in the intestine. The parasites undergo a life cycle of about 4-7 days within the host, multiplying and causing damage before being shed in oocysts. Clinical signs range from subclinical effects to bloody diarrhea and death. Diagnosis involves identifying oocysts in droppings and lesions in the intestines. Control is through management practices and vaccination to build immunity.

5. Germs include bacteria and viruses.
While bacteria are very essential for
food production, the environment,
and proper functioning of the
human body, some bacteria cause
disease. Unlike bacteria, viruses are
nonliving genetic strands that are
extremely small and can cause a
variety of diseases. 5
6. Viruses are usually spread by personal
contact or contact with surfaces. They do
need a living host in order to remain active.
After a couple of hours on a dry surface the
virus becomes harmless. However, on a wet
surface, such as in the kitchen, viruses can
remain active for up to 24 hours and result
in many different debilitating illnesses.
6
7. Chickenpox is a viral disease that causes fever and
hundreds of fluid filled blisters on the face and
portions of the body. Adults and adolescents can get
very serious complications from chickenpox. The virus
remains in the body and in later years can result in a
formidable disease called shingles which produces
blisters on the skin and causes excruciating pain.
9. One of the most treacherous viruses to
infect Americans during the last 100
years was the polio virus. Beginning in
1910 polio outbreaks during summer
months were frequent. At it’s peak in the
1940’s and 1950’s, polio paralyzed or
killed over a half a million people yearly.
9
10. The virulent polio virus struck fear in the
hearts of parents for many years until an
effective vaccine was made available during
the 1960’s.
10
11. Before a polio vaccine was discovered, millions of
American children suffered paralysis or death from
the contagious virus.

17. Class Discussion
Is it possible to use too many germ killing
cleaners that actually make germs more
dangerous?
Could the overuse of antibiotics come
back to bite us?
17
18. cc
Almost 50% of household cleaners contain
antibacterial formulas that are contributing to
future problems. Since germs are capable of
adapting to their environment by mutating into new
strains that are more resistant to antibacterial soaps
and cleaners, using too many antiseptic cleaners
can backfire and lead to adverse results in the
future. So by attempting to kill all bacteria in the
home, we seem to be creating “super bugs” that
can resist our cleaners. In addition, helpful bacteria
that keep dangerous bacteria in check are being
killed as well.
18
19. Out of control “super bugs” will become serious killers
as antibiotics fail to slow down their dangerous
progression. Scientists fear that over use of
antibacterial cleaners and antibiotic drugs may be
catastrophic for some humans as medical professionals
battle viral diseases in the future.
19
20. Scientists are working feverishly to create new
antibiotics to fend off dangerous “super bugs”.
However, the super bugs are proliferating faster
than our ability to fight them.

30. Cantaloupe must be washed
thoroughly to remove possible
Salmonella from the outer rind.
30
31. Many food products such as
vegetables and meats can transport
the Salmonella bacteria. Symptoms
may include acute intestinal
cramps, vomiting, and fever.
31
33. 33
Discuss
What happens when fresh food is left
at room temperature for long
periods?
Can some germs that are found in the
kitchen be deadly?
34. A deadly bacteria called E. coli sometimes
contaminates our food supply. The bacteria
often spreads in the fields where food is
grown and contaminates food processing
plants. From there the bacteria is
transported into the home on food products
and used in our kitchens.
34
42. Keep food safe by washing thoroughly,
refrigerating promptly, cooking adequately,
and avoiding cross contamination.
42
43. Botulism is another bacteria that can be very
harmful and result in a ghastly death. Years
ago when more foods were canned at home,
botulism was a more common problem.
Opening a glass jar for the first time should
provide a helpful clue for maintaining safety
and averting botulism poisoning. Hearing a
popping sound normally signifies an air tight
jar that is safe from botulism.
43
44. Botulism is a nerve toxin produced by a bacteria that grows in
low oxygen areas. Improperly canned foods are often the cause
of botulism found in food. However, the most common form of
botulism is found in infants who get the bacteria from dirt.
44
45. There are five kinds of botulism. Infant
botulism, food botulism, and wound
botulism are the most common.
45
48. Fortunately, one of the scariest bacterial
diseases is not transported through foods or
food preparation. The dangerous flesh
eating bacteria is spread through warm
ocean or lake water. Open cuts or wounds
allow the bacteria to enter the tissue and
spread quickly.
48
50. Vibrio Vulnificus is a flesh eating bacteria
that is commonly found in warm waters.
50
51. The bacteria, which is easily spread in warmer
lakes and oceans, has caused a significant number
of flesh eating bacteria cases in states bordering
the Gulf of Mexico.
52. Flesh eating bacteria can begin as an open sore
that progresses very quickly into a larger and
deeper wound. An out of control case can
quickly become perilous for the life or limb of
the patient.
52
53. The flesh eating bacteria is a member of the
streptococci group that normally causes mild cases of
sore throats and skin infections that are rarely serious.
53
54. The flesh eating bacteria advances very
quickly and will result in amputations if not
controlled. Some people lose several limbs
before the bacteria is eradicated.
54
55. Dangerous viruses will continue to
challenge humans in the future.
Viruses sometimes are dormant in the
soil or in the animal population and
emerge to spread to humans. In July
of 2014, a very dangerous virus called
Ebola lurched out of control in the
western part of Africa. With a fatality
rate of nearly 90%, the Ebola virus
has no known treatment or cure. It is
spread from person to person through
contact with bodily fluids.
55
56. As of August 2014, the horrific Ebola Virus has
been limited to several countries in West Africa.
Medical experts are working feverishly to help
these nations contain the virus and save lives. In
addition, there is a great fear that the virus may
spread to other countries in the world.
56
57. In early August of 2014, two Americans who were infected
with the Ebola virus while providing medical assistance in
Liberia were transported to a highly specialized hospital in
the United States. Their entry into the U.S. was the first
time the deadly Ebola virus had reached America. American
citizens had different opinions about bringing the infected
patients to this country.

Do you think the two Ebola virus
patients should have been brought into
the United States to be treated?
