The CloCol qPCR comprises a series of specific targeted reagents designed for Clostridium colinum detection by using qPCR. Clostridium colinum is a Gram-positive, obligately anaerobic, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium belonging to the family Clostridiaceae. It is the causative agent of ulcerative enteritis, also known as quail disease, a highly contagious infectious disease affecting domestic and wild birds, particularly quail, chickens, turkeys, pheasants, and other gallinaceous species. The disease is characterised by intestinal ulceration, hepatic necrosis, watery or haemorrhagic diarrhoea, lethargy, anorexia and sudden death. Mortality rates are particularly high in young quail. Transmission primarily occurs through the faecal–oral route involving contaminated feed, water, or environments. Resistant bacterial spores can persist in poultry facilities for several months. Clostridium colinum has a worldwide distribution and represents a significant concern for avian health and poultry production.
