Broiler performance, oocyst shedding, lesion score, histomorphometry, claudin-3 expression, and lymphocytic infiltration in the intestine were assessed. The challenge affected body weight (BW), average daily weight gain (ADWG), and feed conversion ratio (FCR), with the INF group exhibiting significantly poorer performance compared to the NEG and supplemented groups (p ≤ 0.05). Oocyst per gram (OPG) counts were significantly higher (p ≤ 0.05) in the INF group than in the PPB and SAL groups at all timepoints, while anticoccidial index (ACI) and total macroscopic lesion scores (TMLS) confirmed the protective effect of both interventions. Histopathological examination revealed that infection induced marked epithelial damage across intestinal segments. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated (p ≤ 0.05) elevated Claudin-3 expression in the duodenum and ileum of INF birds. In conclusion, the dietary supplementation with PPB provided protective effects against <i>Eimeria</i> infection in broiler chickens, comparable to salinomycin.RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS PPB effectively mitigated <i>Eimeria</i> spp. infection in broilers.PPB and salinomycin reduced oocyst excretionOocyst excretion was highest in the INF groupPPB was as effective as salinomycin.</p>","PeriodicalId":8788,"journal":{"name":"Avian Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1-39"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144332406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Iran, fowl adenovirus (FAdV) infections have been circulating for several years, with recurrent reports of clinical cases suggesting IBH and hepatitis-hydropericardium Syndrome (HHS) in commercial poultry operations. In response to these concerns, the present study was conducted to comprehensively characterize circulating FAdV strains in Iranian poultry farms over a three-year period.A total of 200 pooled liver samples were collected from 200 broiler flocks that exhibited clinical signs consistent with IBH/HHS. Partial amplification and sequencing of the hexon gene were performed to detect and genotype the FAdV strains. The phylogenetic analysis assigned 66.32% of the detected strains to FAdV-D, 16.32% to FAdV-C, 11.22% to FAdV-E, and 6.12% to FAdV-B. Notably, this investigation provided the first genomic evidence of FAdV serotype 5 in Iran. Within the FAdV-C group, both serotypes 4 and 10 were identified. Additionally, serotype 6, closely related (98% nucleotide identity) to a Chinese reference strain, was reported for the first time in Iran. Given the high diversity of FAdV serotypes, continued vaccination of broiler breeders using vaccines that cover the strains circulating in the country is recommended. Monitoring broilers and broiler breeders remain essential for effective disease control and prevention.</p>","PeriodicalId":8788,"journal":{"name":"Avian Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144301118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
