Abstract: Diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) are considered one of the major causes of human diarrhea in developing countries. Some studies have pointed wild birds as important reservoirs for these pathogens. However, scarce species from the Psittaciformes order have been investigated. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of DEC strains in Psittaciformes from illegal wildlife trade. A total of 78 E. coli strains isolated from cloacal swab samples of 167 Psittaciformes in the Ceará State, Brazil, were evaluated re… Show more

“…Basic knowledge about the prevalence of Newcastle disease, Chlamydiophila psittaci, avian influenza virus, new beak and feather disease, and Psittacine Herpesvirus have been reported for the Americas [105][106][107] and Europe [108,109]. Additionally, outbreaks affecting wildlife have been reported for the Americas [110][111][112] and Oceania [113,114], while those affecting humans have been only recorded in the Americas [9,115]. In Africa, only studies about the prevalence of beak and feather disease were detected [116].…”

“…Aside from conservation impacts on the harvested species, and despite CITES regulations and international bans, both the legal and illegal trade have contributed to the establishment of alien and invasive populations of parrots worldwide [5,6]. In some instances, these nonnative populations may cause ecological, economic, and even human health problems [7] including the potential transmission of zoonotic diseases associated with illegally traded specimens [8,9].…”

“…The presence of DEC strains in wild animals seems to be low in comparison to their prevalence in humans and ruminants. EPEC (typical and atypical) and STEC strains have been isolated from captive wild birds in Brazil (12,13). A study that surveyed animals from zoos in India demonstrated a low prevalence of DEC strains in wild ruminants (STEC 7.14%; EPEC 1.58%), in non-ruminant animals (STEC 3.48%; EPEC 5.81%) and wild birds (EPEC 5.84%) (14).…”

“…Lima (2016) analisou 182 amostras de calopsitas (Nymphicus hollandicus) mantidas em diversos ambientes (cativeiro domiciliar, lojas de animais, entre outros) e diagnosticou apenas uma cepa de EPEC típica. Em 78 amostras de psitacídeos silvestres, mantidos no Cetas/CE, Lopes et al (2018) observaram que 11 (14,1%) foram positivas para os genes eaeA e bfpA (com ausência de stx), o que as classificou como EPEC típicas e nove (11,5%) foram consideradas EPEC atípicas, por apresentarem apenas o gene eaeA, tendo sido ambos os patotipos isolados no presente estudo. Essas duas pesquisas realizadas com psitacídeos domésticos e silvestres, respectivamente, apontam que essas aves podem ser portadoras de cepas de E. coli virulentas.…”
