Expression of Immune-Related Genes of Ducks Infected with Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC)

Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) can cause severe disease in ducks, characterized by perihepatitis, pericarditis and airsacculitis. Although the studies of bacteria isolation and methods of detection have been reported, host immune responses to APEC infection remain unclear. In response, we...
