Consistent with previous studies (Chiang et al., 2008; Matulova et al., 2012; Li et al., 2017a), many immune-related pathways (Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, MAPK, and Jak-STAT signaling pathway) have been identified in susceptible chickens following Salmonella infection. The gene discussed is SOAT1; the disease is Salmonella Infections.
