The carcasses of three 1-year-old, Leghorn chickens were presented for
necropsy; one of the chickens was told to have shown neurological signs before
death. At necropsy, meningeal and cerebral hyperemia were observed in the
carcass that had neurological symptoms, and diarrhea was evident in the other
two chickens. Histopathological examination revealed nonsuppurative
meningoencephalitis, myositis in skeletal and cardiac muscles, and focal
nonsuppurative hepatitis, and nephritis. Bradyzoites and tachyzoites were
present in the meninges and brain. The present case is the first report of Toxoplasma gondii infection in a chicken
in Turkey.
