Duck Plague Virus Polyclonal Antibody

Duck plague (DP) is an acute contagious disease that is highly lethal in all ages of birds from the order Anseriforms (ducks, geese, and swans) . The characterization of duck plague is tissue hemorrhage, digestive mucosal eruptions lesions of lymphoid organs and degenerative changes in parenchymatous organs. Duck plague was difficult to monitor and control, because duck plague virus established an asymptomatic carrier state in both domestic and wild waterfowls that was detectable only during the intermittent shedding period of the virus. Duck plague has resulted in significant economic losses in commercial duck industry due to high mortality rate and decreased duck egg production.
