Welcome to episode #53 of Scrubbed In: The DVM Journey – the podcast where we dive into the wild, rewarding, and sometimes unpredictable world of becoming a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

In Part 1 of our Viral Poultry Diseases series, we review Marek’s disease, infectious bursal disease (Gumboro disease), and infectious bronchitis.

We’ll break down the cause, transmission, clinical signs, lesions, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of each disease, with a focus on the high-yield associations you’re most likely to see on the NAVLE.

If poultry viral diseases tend to blur together while you're studying, this episode will help you focus on the hallmark clues that separate them.
