Histomonas meleagridis detection kits

Histomonas meleagridis, a flagellated protozoan parasite, is the causative agent of histomonosis in turkeys, chickens, and occasionally other galliform birds. In turkeys, most infections are fatal; in other birds, mortality is less common. The organs primarily affected by the parasite are the caeca and the liver. Signs are apparent 7-12 days after infection and include listlessness, drooping wings, unkempt feathers, and yellow droppings.
