Özet: Antigens enter the body throught the mucosal surfaces. Infections occur and spread in mucosal surfaces. Mucosal lymphoid tissues (MALT), prevent specific and nonspecific immunity from spreading the antigens at the site of introduction by stimulating together. Poultry animals have a mucosal immune system developed with digestion (GALT), respiratory (Harderian gland, CALT, NALT, BALT) and mucosal lymphoid tissues found in the genital system. However, there are limited information about the properties and defense mechanisms of mucosal lymphoid tissues of poultry. This review will contribute to the role of prevention of infections and the development of novel mucosal vaccine strategies by presenting mucosal lymphoid tissues in poultry.
