(a) Avian influenza, Infectious bronchitis
(b) Aspergillosis, Fowl cholera
(c) Colibacillus, Infectious coryza
(d) Rickets, Cage layer fatigue

Answer 1

Hint: Poultry also suffers from many diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The disease can be infectious and transfer from bird to bird. Common poultry diseases include Colibacillus, mycoplasmosis, fowl cholera, fowl typhoid botulism, etc.

Complete answer:
Poultry includes domesticated fowl which is used for its egg, meat, and feather. It includes chicken, duck, turkey, geese, guinea fowl, and squab. Poultry needs a proper cleaning area for feeding and brooding, it also needs proper care and time to time vaccination. If proper care is not taken then they can be susceptible to disease. There are four main types of poultry diseases such as nutritional disease, infectious disease, parasitic disease, and a behavioral disease.
Bacterial poultry disease includes Colibacillus, infectious coryza,ornithobacterium, pullorum, salmonellosis, staphylococcal infection, mycoplasmosis, fowl cholera, pseudomonas, and ornitho bacteriosis. With the increase, industrial agriculture poultry becomes more to disease, as they live together therefore disease transmit easily from one to another. To prevent the disease from spreading it is preferred to separate out infected poultry and then it will be sent to a veterinary hospital for treatment.

Additional Information: Avian influenza and infectious bronchitis is a viral infection in poultry whereas fowl cholera is a bacterial disease and it has different symptoms in the different birds. Aspergillosis is a disease caused by aspergillus fungi. Aspergillosis affects respiratory function. Rickets caused by a deficiency of vitamin D in humans results in weak and soft bone. Cage layer fatigue causes vertebrae where the loss of calcium from bone takes place result in paralysis.
So, the correct answer is ‘Colibacillosis, Infectious coryza’.

Note: Some poultry disease is also transmissible in human-like chlamydiosis, cryptococcosis, and some encephalitis virus. It is recommended to cook poultry meat properly because partially cooked and raw meat can cause flu type diseases.
