Avian respiratory diseases can be caused by viruses, bacteria and mycoplasma, and are a common type of disease in poultry farming. Avian respiratory pathogens are diverse and include avian pneumovirus (APV), avian influenza virus (AIV), avian paramyxovirus (APMV), infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV), Avibacterium paragallinarum (A. paragallinarum), Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT), Mycoplasma synovialis, Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG), etc. These respiratory pathogens can cause avian respiratory diseases independently or interactively, and this interaction may be synergistic or antagonistic, which determines the severity of the disease complex. Avian respiratory disease has a complex etiology and is often caused by multiple pathogens.

Poor management of avian respiratory diseases can lead to high mortality and cause significant economic losses to public health and the poultry farming industry. Therefore, the development of simple and rapid detection methods is essential for the prevention and control of poultry respiratory diseases. In recent years, with the advancement of medical science and biotechnology, various methods have been developed to detect different avian respiratory pathogens. Agar gel immunodiffusion (AGID) is a simple and economical serological test commonly used to screen poultry flocks for infection with respiratory pathogens. Each test has advantages and disadvantages so that researchers need to consider these factors before selecting the best test.
