“…The liver, spleen, lung, bone marrow are common sites of mycobacterial infection in birds (Feldman, 1938;Francis, 1958;Thoen, 1997;Tell et al, 2001;Fulton & Thoen, 2003;Converse, 2007). Focal or multi-focal granulomatous inflammation is the most common form observed in this disease (Montali et al, 1976;Fulton & Thoen, 2003;Schmidt et al, 2003).…”

“…Although reports of mycobacteriosis exist for most orders of birds, susceptibility, prevalence of infection and diseases, the degree of organ involvement and the nature of the lesions vary widely (Montali et al, 1976;Hejlícek & Treml, 1995;Cromie et al, 2000;Friend, 2001;Tell et al, 2001;Schmidt et al, 2003;Pollock, 2006;Converse, 2007). Environmental factors have been proposed to explain different susceptibility (Montali et al, 1976;Tell et al, 2001;Pollock, 2006).…”

“…Mycobacteriosis is a relatively common cause of disease in pet, avicultural, zoo and free-ranging birds (Montali et al, 1976;Tell et al, 2001;Pollock, 2006;Converse, 2007). Most cases of mycobacteriosis are caused by Mycobacterium avium subsp.…”

“…Several mycobacteria can be isolated as the etiological agent of the disease. AMB is most often caused by Mycobacterium avium belonging to serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 6, and less frequently by Mycobacterium genavense and Mycobacterium bovis (Fulton & Thoen, 2003;Converse, 2007). Mycobacterium avium is a Gram positive, aerobic, and saprophytic bacillum with a slow glycerol-dependent growth (Converse, 2007).…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the health situation of chukar partridges through several diagnostic methods. We investigated a total of 224 birds in eighteen populations throughout Turkey, fourteen wild and four captive. The molecular sexing method was used for gender identification. Clinically, traumatic lesions and inflammatory reactions were the most commonly observed in the eyes and extremities of the Chukar Partridges in the breeding stations. At necropsy, the most common findings were enteritis and liver lesions. At the histopathological examination, pneumonia, anthracosis, and inflammatory changes in the digestive system were among the common findings. Interestingly, liver parasites were found in wild samples. At the immunohistochemical examinations, the tissues were evaluated for Marek's disease (MD), Adenovirus, Avian mycobacteriosis (AMB), and Aspergillosis. While MD and AMB were not found in breeding stations, we determined them from wild populations. Aspergillus was found in both wild and captive populations; Adenovirus antigens were found only in breeding stations. When the captive and wild populations were evaluated together, MD 1.3%, AMB 0.9%, Aspergillosis 1.3%, Adenovirus 1.8% were found. The relation between sex and diseases was also examined. As a result, the data of this study showed that chukar partridges from both breeding stations and wild populations are not an important source of diseases, but especially released partridges from breeding stations may carry some microorganisms. For that reason, captive populations should be regularly monitored for contagious diseases.
