Comparison of blood biochemical parameters of four species of vultures [PDF]
Vultures play a very important role in ecosystems by feeding on dead animals and preventing the spread of pathogens. In the mid-20th century in Bulgaria, all species of vultures experienced a rapid population decline and conservation measures include ...

Not an infection: Endogenous circoviral elements underlie BFDV detections in Old World vultures. [PDF]
Circoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, single-stranded DNA viruses known to infect a broad range of bird species. The Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV), typically associated with parrots, has occasionally been reported in unrelated avian taxa,

Comparison of the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli, verotoxin-producing E. coli and enteropathogenic E. coli in griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus), cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) and red kites (Milvus milvus) fed in the wild and in a rescue centre [PDF]
IntroductionAntimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli from avian scavengers remains poorly characterized, with limited data available for griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) and no studies on cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) or red kites (Milvus ...

Influence of winter temperature on nestling sex ratio in the cinereous vulture [PDF]
For decades, variation in offspring sex ratios in birds has been a key topic in animal demography and population dynamics. In raptors, different factors such as food availability and breeding phenology may significantly influence sex ratios, while the ...

Hemangiosarcoma associated with a Pasteurella multocida infection in a near threatened cinereous vulture (Aegypius monachus): insights into avian pathology and implications for conservation [PDF]
Background Cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) are Near Threatened (NT) scavenger species vital to ecosystem health, yet little is known about neoplastic diseases affecting them. Hemangiosarcoma (HSA), a malignant tumor of vascular endothelial origin,
