Molecular detection of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in asymptomatic captive psittacines

Abstract: Pesq. Vet. Bras. 32(9) Psittaciformes are one of the most endangered groups of birds, and several Brazilian species are classiϐied between vulnerable and critically endangered. It is thus necessary to identify agents that cause infections in captive wild animals and to assess the risks posed thereof and to design interventions to minimize the possibility of disease outbreaks, leading to the conservation of endangered species. The purpose of this study was to identify enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) cl… Show more

“…Some bird species have been described as possible asymptomatic carriers of atypical EPEC and STEC; among them are columbiformes and galliformes (FAROOQ et al, 2009); passeriformes, piciformes and anseriformes (OH et al, 2011); and psittaciformes (SAIDENBERG et al, 2012a;GIOIA-DI CHIACCHIO et al, 2016). In a study by Saidenberg et al (2012b), typical EPEC strains were detected in asymptomatic parrots from illegal wildlife trade in Brazil. The authors note the existence of three birds positive for EPEC that were kept together with others of the same species that remained negative, indicating an intermittent elimination of the pathogen or a transient carrier state.…”

“…São aves popularmente conhecidas e criadas em cativeiro, devido a sua beleza, variedade de plumagens e capacidade de imitar a voz humana (Pinho & Nogueira 2000). Dentre as diferentes ferramentas que podem ser utilizadas para a conservação de espécies silvestres destaca-se a investigação de doenças infecciosas, através do estado sanitário de animais e o controle sanitário em criatórios e vida livre (Deem et al 2001, Saidenberg et al 2012. A pesquisa do estado clínico de aves é importante para a obtenção de dados sanitários e utilização dessas informações como ferramenta de auxílio na manutenção das espécies.…”
