Avian mycobacteriosis in free-living raptors in Majorca Island, Spain

Avian Pathology, 2010
Avian mycobacteriosis is a chronic, infectious disease caused by different species of mycobacteria, usually belonging to the Mycobacterium avium complex. From 2004 to 2007, 589 raptors brought dead or sick to a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Majorca (Balearic Islands, Spain) were necropsied. The birds belonged to 12 different species, chiefly common

New strategies in the treatment of avian mycobacteriosis

Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine, 1997
Mycobacterial infections are a significant cause of diseases in pet birds. Information regarding antimycobacterial therapy is limited and often extrapolated from humans and in vitro studies as clinical studies have not been conducted in birds. Factors that may affect therapeutic outcome include the immune status and general health of the bird, the ...

An Outbreak of Avian Mycobacteriosis Caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare in Little Blue Penguins (Eudyptula minor)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2009
Mycobacterium intracellulare (MIT) was diagnosed postmortem by culture and supporting histopathology in seven birds from a flock of little blue penguins (Eudyptula minor) at the Henry Doorly Zoo (HDZ). These birds represented 20% of the deaths in the population over a 4 yr period.

Avian Mycobacteriosis in Free-Living Raptors in California: 6 Cases (1997–2001)

Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2004
Abstract Avian mycobacteriosis has been documented commonly in poultry, companion birds, and birds in zoological collections or wildlife parks. However, reports in free-ranging raptors are relatively rare. We describe 6 cases of mycobacteriosis in free-living raptors.

A Model of Avian Mycobacteriosis: Clinical and Histopathologic Findings in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) Intravenously Inoculated with Mycobacterium avium

Avian Diseases, 2003
Mycobacterial infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in birds and a considerable diagnostic challenge until the disease is advanced. In order to develop more clinically useful antemortem tests, a biological model was created that replicated naturally occurring disease.

A review on avian tuberculosis ( Avian mycobacteriosis ).

CABI Reviews, 2015
Abstract Avian tuberculosis is a chronic disease caused mainly by Mycobacterium avium in birds. The disease has a worldwide distribution affecting primarily adult birds because of its long incubation period, making it a common disease in zoo and breeding establishments. Mycobacterium avium

Disseminated Avian Mycobacteriosis in a Free-Living Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea)

Avian Diseases, 2013
Wild birds share with humans the capacity for moving fast over large distances. During migratory movements, birds carry pathogens that can be transmitted between species. One of these concerning pathogens is Mycobacterium spp. A necropsy was performed in a grey heron (Ardea cinerea) that had been medically treated for a polyarthritic process.

Investigation of factors predicting disease among zoo birds exposed to avian mycobacteriosis

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2010
Abstract Objective—To characterize infection patterns and identify factors associated with avian mycobacteriosis among zoo birds that were housed with infected enclosure mates. Design—Matched case-control study. Animals—79 birds with avian mycobacteriosis (cases) and 316 nondiseased birds (controls) of similar age and taxonomic group that were present ...
