| Attacks domesticated fowl chiefly, but turkeys, geese, ducks, and most of the common wild birds, are sometimes affected. It is not known to affect the pigeon. The disease is found in Asia, Africa, the Americas and to a lesser extent in parts of the continent of Europe, and is always liable to be introduced to countries hitherto free from it through the migrations of wild birds. An outbreak occurred among turkeys in Norfolk in 1963. This was the first recorded outbreak in Britain since 1929. |

| This is the host in which an adult parasite with an indirect life-history lives and produces its eggs. A definitive host is the final host, as compared with the intermediate host or hosts. For example, an ant is one of the intermediate hosts of one species of liverfluke; the definitive host is a sheep or other grazing animal. |
