Investigation of Lethal Concurrent Outbreak of Chlamydiosis and Pigeon Circovirus in a Zoo
During the spring, an outbreak of sudden death involving 58 birds occurred in a zoo. Histopathological examinations revealed variable numbers of intracytoplasmic basophilic microorganisms in the macrophages, hepatocytes, and renal epithelium of most ...

Evidence for strain-specific virulence ofTrichomonas gallinaein African columbiformes
AbstractInfection by parasites or pathogens can have marked physiological impacts on individuals. In birds, infection may affect moult and feather growth, which is an energetically demanding time in the annual cycle. Previous work has suggested a potential link between clinically visibleTrichomonas gallinaeinfection and wing length in turtle ...

DNA barcoding for identification of species involved in wildlife strikes at Brazilian airports
A collaborative network of 42 Brazilian airports applied DNA barcoding to identify 80 species involved in wildlife strikes. Among them, 32 species (17 birds and 15 bats) were not currently available in Brazil's wildlife strike reporting database, underscoring the value of molecular tools for strengthening wildlife strike monitoring. Abstract This study

Molecular epidemiological study of Trichomonas gallinae focusing on central and southeastern Europe
Trichomonas gallinae is a geographically widespread protozoan parasite of birds. In this study, oropharyngeal swab samples were collected in Hungary and Romania from 99 columbiform birds, including 76 feral pigeons (Columba livia domestica: 42 kept for ...

We describe the host response continuum for highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV), including the continuum of host responses to HPAIV infection and exposure based on the primary axis of host competence, ability to infect other hosts, and host vulnerability.

The uropygial gland of the Eared Dove and its evolutionary history within the Columbiformes (Aves) [PDF]
The uropygial (preen) gland is a holocrine organ unique of Aves. Although several studies have been performed on the uropygial gland of different bird species, knowledge about this gland in Columbiformes is scarce.

Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)
Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

A karyosystematic study in columbiformes (Aves).
The karyotypes of four species of Columbiformes have been analysed. The use of the karyotypes as a tool to help solving the problem of systematic classification is discussed. The cytogenetic date obtained agree with the separation of C. picui, in the Columbina genus, from C. minuta, C. passerina and C. talpacoti, in the Columbigallina genus.
