Fowl pox is a viral disease that affects chickens, turkeys, and other bird species. It is caused by the Fowl Pox Virus (FPV). The disease is characterized by wart-like lesions over the non-feathered parts of skin and mucosa of the upper respiratory and digestive systems.
Vaccination is the primary method of prevention of the disease. Good biosecurity practices, such as isolating infected birds and controlling mosquito populations, are also important.
