Pullorum disease, caused by Salmonella pullorum, is primarily detected through serological tests that identify antibodies in the blood, indicating prior exposure to the bacteria. The most common method is the rapid whole-blood plate test, which can be performed in the field. Other tests, such as the rapid serum plate test, tube agglutination test, and microagglutination test, can also be used, but they require laboratory settings. Additionally, isolation and identification of the bacteria from samples like feces and internal organs can confirm the diagnosis.
