Nearly 800 poultry health professionals from more than 25 countries will gather in Portland, Oregon, from July 29 to 31 for the 2025 conference of the American Association of Avian Pathologists.
Avian metapneumovirus (aMPV) has swept through production facilities across the US since its initial appearance in late 2023. aMPV infections can result in mass morbidity, significant egg drops and, in the most severe cases, mortalities.
Past knowledge can provide useful insight to control the latest outbreak of avian metapneumovirus in the US poultry industry, according to two leading experts on the disease.
Samples tested from recent infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) outbreaks on US poultry farms raised alarms that the current circulating virus is rapidly spreading.
Looking to make decades of poultry research more accessible to the industry, the American Association of Avian Pathologists (AAAP) has a new online feature in place for members and non-members to purchase print copies of its popular journal, Avian Diseases.
To help the industry improve control programs for infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), the AAAP hosted a webinar, “Recent Outbreaks of ILT: What Have We Learned?”

Innovation, welfare and sustainability were on full display at the 2023 conference of the American Association of Avian Pathologists.
Health challenges associated with antibiotic-free production and the growing issue of wooden breast syndrome in broilers are two emerging trends to appear in the latest edition of Diseases of Poultry.
Supporting the mental health and well-being of people working in poultry science and research has become a focus of the AAAP, according to one of the organization’s leaders.
