Survey of zoonotic parasites and bacteria in faeces of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in North‐Central Oklahoma [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2022 Background As a population of non‐migratory Canada geese (Branta canadensis) has been growing in residential and recreational areas, public concerns on potential acquisition of zoonotic pathogens from Canada geese and their faecal deposits have been ...

Phenotypic Characterization and Draft Genome Sequence Analyses of Two Novel Endospore-Forming Sporosarcina spp. Isolated from Canada Goose (Branta canadensis) Feces [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2023 In an attempt to isolate new probiotic bacteria, two Gram-variable, spore-forming, rod-shaped aerobic bacteria designated as strain A4 and A15 were isolated from the feces of Canada geese (Branta canadensis).

Subtype-specific influenza A virus antibodies in Canada geese (Branta canadensis). [PDF]
Vet Microbiol, 2015 Historically, surveillance for influenza A viruses (IAVs) in wild birds has relied on viral detection assays. This was largely due to poor performance of serological assays in wild birds; however, recently developed commercial serological assays have improved the ability to detect IAV antibodies in wild birds.

Host-adapted Cryptosporidium spp. in Canada geese (Branta canadensis). [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2004 ABSTRACTThe prevalence and distribution ofCryptosporidiumspp. in the fecal droppings of the free-living waterfowl Canada geese were examined at 13 sites in Ohio and Illinois. On the basis of the analysis of the small-subunit rRNA gene by PCR, followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and DNA sequencing, 49 (23.4%) of 209 fecal ...

Herbivory by Geese Inhibits Tidal Freshwater Wetland Restoration Success
Diversity, 2022 Experimental results from a multi-year exclosure study (2009–2015) demonstrate strong effects of geese on plant cover and species diversity in an urban, restored tidal freshwater wetland. Access by geese inhibited plant establishment and suppressed plant

Relationships Between Migration and Microbiome Composition and Diversity in Urban Canada Geese
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Microbiome analysis presents an opportunity to understand how urban environments affect avian physiology. For example, habitat use can affect microbiome diversity and composition, and hosts with more diverse gut microbiota are thought to be more ...

Lactobacillus brantae sp. nov., isolated from faeces of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2012 Three strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from the faeces of apparently healthy wild Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in 2010 by cultivating faecal LAB on Rogosa SL agar under aerobic conditions. These three isolates were found to share 99.9 % gene sequence similarity of their 16S rRNA, their 16S–23S intergenic transcribed spacer region
