Abstract: Highlights: [•] Current understanding of DC and MPh function is addressed. [•] Receptors expressed by MPh and DC involved in pathogen recognition are described. [•] Responses of DC and MPh against respiratory and intestinal pathogens in the chicken are described. [•] Potential opportunities are described to modulate MPh and DC responses to enhance disease resistance by modulation through nutraceuticals and vaccination. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
