Fungal diseases of columbiformes and anseriformes

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2003
Because of the high incidence of aspergillosis, fungal disease is an important condition in the waterfowl. Although this is generally a disease of individual birds, epizootics have been reported when overwhelming spore loads are present. By contrast, the occurrence of fungal disease is quite sporadic in the pigeon. In both groups of birds, however, the

Trichomonas gallinae in Columbiform Birds from the Galapagos Islands

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1987
Domestic pigeons were introduced into the Galapagos Islands in 1972 or 1973. There is a high prevalence of Trichomonas gallinae among them and some evidence of canker. Trichomonas gallinae can be found also in endemic Galapagos doves in the vicinity of Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island. Doves examined on pigeon-free islands were not found infected.

BLOOD PARASITES OF SOME COLUMBIFORM AND PASSERIFORM BIRDS FROM CHILE

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1977
Ninety-one birds of 23 species from Chile were examined for haematozoa; 13 birds of seven species harbored species of Haemoproteus, Leucocytozoon, Plasmodium, Trypanosoma and microfilariae. Haemoproteids (representing four species) were the most common parasites and occurred in 10 of the 13 infected birds.

Problem solving and neophobia in a columbiform–passeriform assemblage in Barbados

Animal Behaviour, 2001
Abstract Previous research suggests a link between innovation rate, neophobia and behavioural flexibility in the field and in captivity. In this paper we examine three correlates of flexibility in five opportunistic avian species that feed together in Barbados: three Passeriformes (the Carib grackle, Quiscalus lugubris, the Lesser Antillean bullfinch,

Two New Nasal Mites from Columbiform Birds

The Journal of Parasitology, 1952
In a survey of the respiratory parasites of columbiform birds performed at Texas Technological College, Lubbock, Texas, two new species of nasal mites were discovered: Neonyssus zenaidurae, from the mourning dove, and Speleognathus striatus, from the domestic pigeon. Mexican ground doves were also examined, but only one of sixteen birds was parasitized.

Zoonotic Diseases of Common Pet Birds: Psittacine, Passerine, and Columbiform Species

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2011
Zoonotic transmission of disease from pet birds is uncommon, but there are some recognized dangers. Most notably, Chlamydophila psittaci can be transmitted from pet birds to humans. Allergic responses to pet birds, including pneumonitis and contact dermatitis, have also been documented.
