Fowl pest, also known as avian paramyxovirus, is a contagious disease affecting birds, particularly poultry such as chickens and turkeys. It spreads through direct contact with infected birds, their feces, or contaminated equipment and surfaces. Symptoms include respiratory problems, diarrhea, nervous system signs like tremors and paralysis, and a drop in egg production. Fowl pest can lead to high death rates in affected flocks. Prevention involves maintaining strict hygiene, vaccination in areas that commonly have fowl pest, and immediate isolation and treatment of infected birds.
