Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Records of lethal consequences from bacterial and parasitic infections in wildlife are scarce, and the conditions under which pathogens cause mortality in infected animals remain poorly understood. We report the first documented case of a female boreal owl (Aegolius funereus) incubating eggs that died on the nest due to a co‐infection with ...
