New World vultures, such as turkey vultures (Cathartes aura), are obligate scavengers with large geographic ranges. In a preliminary characterization of the turkey vulture (TV) gastrointestinal microbiome in Southern California, we identified 2 recently described emerging bacterial pathogens not previously known to be associated with this avian species.

Serum proteins of wild turkey vultures (Cathartes aura)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1983We separated and identified the major serum proteins of turkey vultures (Cathartes aura): albumin, HDL, LDL, IgG and M, transferrin, alpha 2M and putatively, IgA, ceruloplasmin and fibronectin. Turkey vulture HDL and LDL had similar electrophorectic mobility and solution properties as those from gallinaceous birds.

Cathartidae is a small family of large-bodied carrion-feeding birds, of which the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura, Cathartidae) is the most widespread distributed. To investigate the chemoreception system, detoxification system, and immune system in the turkey vulture, we compared its genome to 14 other avian genomes.

Olfactory Sensitivity of the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) to Three Carrion-associated Odorants
The Auk, 1986Abstract The Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) is generally thought to rely on olfactory cues to locate carrion. Because vertically rising odorants are dispersed rapidly by wind turbulence, we predict that Turkey Vultures should be highly sensitive to these chemicals to detect them at foraging altitudes. Olfactory thresholds

Biological effects of aqueous extract from Turkey vulture Cathartes aura (Cathartidae) meat
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2013Cathartes aura is a bird used in the Mexican traditional medicine for the empirical treatment of cancer, injuries, infections and burns.The in vitro immunomodulatory effects of Cathartes aura extract (CAE) were evaluated estimating its effects on proliferation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and murine splenocytes. The effects of CAE (1-200

Testing problem solving in turkey vultures (Cathartes aura) using the string-pulling test
Animal Cognition, 2014To examine problem solving in turkey vultures (Cathartes aura), six captive vultures were presented with a string-pulling task, which involved drawing a string up to access food. This test has been used to assess cognition in many bird species. A small piece of meat suspended by a string was attached to a perch.

Plastic Material in the Diet of the Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura) in the Atacama Desert, Chile
The Wilson Journal of Ornithology, 2015ABSTRACT Turkey Vultures are one of the most widely distributed carrion feeders throughout the Americas. We analyzed their regurgitated pellets from two localities in the Atacama Desert of Chile. Natural foods included dogs, sea lions, and feathers present in 17% of the pellets.

Two turkey vultures, Cathartes aura (Linnaeus), were employed in a series of feeding trials. Birds were presented individually with leaf-filled pans in one of which meat was concealed from view. Pans were presented in the open, concealed from direct view behind screens, or concealed in boxes with single openings. In each type of feeding trial pans with
