Infectious coryza is an economically challenging, contagious upper-respiratory infection in poultry caused by the bacterium Avibacterium paragallinarum. Conventional diagnostics require special media, access to molecular diagnostic equipment, and are time-consuming. To minimize spread of the infection, we seek to develop a highly sensitive and specific immuno-lateral flow assay (ILFA) for rapid, field-level diagnosis. This poster describes the initial steps in the ILFA development in which promising immunodominant epitopes of A. paragallinarum were identified.
