Abstract:

Avian immunosuppressive diseases are a group of infectious diseases which can result in immunosuppression of infected poultry and they pose serious threat to the development of the poultry industry all over the world.Previous epidemiology studies of avian immunosuppressive viruses were mainly focused on poultry,and reports of infection in wild birds were quite limited.In recent years,an increasing number of reports showed that many avian immunosuppressive viruses were detected in wild birds.This article will review the avian immunosuppressive viruses spread by wild birds in the following ways: the epidemiology of avian immunosuppressive viruses in wild birds,the bird species of might hosts,the possible transmission mechanism and the surveillance and early warning on wild birds’ diseases.The review enriches the epidemiological data of avian immunosuppressive viruses and lays a foundation for the effective control of avian immunosuppressive diseases.
