AVIAN CHOLERA IN COMMON CROWS, Corvus brachyrhynchos, FROM THE CENTRAL TEXAS PANHANDLE [PDF]
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1981 An epornitic of avian cholera involving approximately 150 birds is described from a flock of common crows, Corvus brachyrhynchos, on a single playa lake utilized as a roost in Castro County, Texas, during early spring of 1980. There was a concomitant epornitic of avian cholera involving several hundred ducks and geese of several species on adjacent ...

Inventory of wildlife use of mortality pits as feeding sites: implications of pathogen exposure
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 To better understand the use of mortality pits by wildlife and possible pathogen dissemination from the resulting wildlife contact in these areas, we used 8 camera traps on 4 mortality pits in Colorado from June to December 2014 to create a species ...

Patterns of evolution of MHC class II genes of crows (Corvus) suggest trans-species polymorphism [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 A distinguishing characteristic of genes that code for the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is that alleles often share more similarity between, rather than within species.

Operant responding in the common crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) [PDF]
Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society, 1973 Common crows can be shaped to keypeck for food reinforcement, using conventional operant conditioning apparatus. They will respond for a variety of foods, but live mealworms and Prime dog food are the most effective of those studied here. The crow would appear to be an interesting avian species for study, because it possesses a number of more complex ...

Experimental Infection of North American Birds with the New York 1999 Strain of West Nile Virus
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 To evaluate transmission dynamics, we exposed 25 bird species to West Nile virus (WNV) by infectious mosquito bite. We monitored viremia titers, clinical outcome, WNV shedding (cloacal and oral), seroconversion, virus persistence in organs, and ...
