Difficult to manage

The problem
• An animal health catastrophe
• An animal welfare catastrophe
• An economic catastrophe
![Page 5: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The problem
• Turkey meat flocks – up to 100% mortality
• Turkey breeder flocks – up to 100% loss of birds & hatching
eggs
• Broiler breeders – variable mortality, ~10% morbidity,
egg drops
• Layers – 1% mortality/week, egg drop

These turkeys need our help !
![Page 34: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Therapeutic Options
• No authorised medicines for treatment
• No authorised medicines for prevention
• Medicines previously licenced lost licences due to issues relating to mutagenicity and carcinogenicity
![Page 35: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Therapeutic Options
• Previous options were:
–Dimetridazole (DMZ, Emtryl)
–Nifursol (Salfuride)
• Both were effective as preventive
in feed additives and DMZ as
water treatment
![Page 36: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dimetridazole - DMZ
• DMZ placed in Annex IV of Regulation 2377/90 (ban of use as VMP in food animals) in September 1995 as no agreed MRL could be set due to concerns on mutagenicity in rodents
• DMZ was still available for in feed use under Feed Additive Regulation 70/524 for prevention of Histomoniasis in turkeys and guinea fowl
![Page 37: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Dimetridazole - DMZ
• Scientific Committee on Animal Nutrition (SCAN) concluded no consumer health risk from DMZ in September 2000, …… BUT
• EU Commission made a formal decision to withdraw DMZ from all use in turkeys – banned as medicinal feed additive in May 2002
![Page 38: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Nifursol (Salfuride)
• In 2003 SCAN concluded that the safety for consumers could not be ensured on the basis of the data made available for the evaluation
• “As both the acceptable daily intake (ADI) and the human exposure to nifursol residues (including metabolites) cannot be established, the safety of nifursol for the human consumer cannot be ensured”
![Page 39: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What other options are available ????
![Page 40: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Therapeutic Options ??
• Use of DMZ to treat an
affected breeder flock, if
prevented from entering the
food chain at end of lay (as for
horse passport system)?
![Page 41: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Use of DMZ in breeders ??
• Most breeder flocks are members of
Government controlled health
schemes – specific veterinary control
• Veterinary Health Plan could cover
requirements for strict control and
identification of treated flocks to
ensure no human consumption
![Page 42: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Use of DMZ in breeders ??
• Not possible under current
legislation unless new data
presented to enable DMZ to
be removed from “Annex IV”
–Currently lack of sufficient data on
human safety

Therapeutic Options ??
• Variety of antimicrobials, herbal remedies tried with variable but limited success–Doxycycline, chlortetracycline,
oxytetracycline, tiamulin, amoxycillin, oregano etc etc etc
• Other options ???????????
![Page 44: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Enhanced biosecurity ?
BUT outbreaks in high health
status breeding farms
Can we do better ?
Yes, but not the whole answer
![Page 45: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Other Options – “wish list”!
• Histomonostat– preventive, in feed, safe
• Therapeutic options– effective and cost effective – under
MUMS legislation – minor use, minor species (reduced dossier requirements)
• Vaccination– effective and commercially available
![Page 46: Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS · Current clinical concerns on HISTOMONOSIS ... –up to 100% loss of birds & hatching eggs ... . of a major catastrophe](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022700/5b35fbbd7f8b9a8b4b8db8e3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
