“…T. anolabiata occurs in the orbits of birds, which can cause lacrimation, keratitis, conjunctivitis, www.intechopen.com and corneal ulcers. This species was reported for the first time from an Andean Cock-of-therock (Rupicola peruviana) from a zoo in Lima, Peru (Elias et al 2008). The nematodes were identified as T. anolabiata based on the lengths of spicules (1770 µm) and other morphologic characteristics such as the number of anal papillae of the males (8 pairs of pre-anal papillae), and the appearance of the first annulations on the anterior part of the body (45 mm posterior to the buccal capsule).…”

“…Although Anderson and Diaz-Ungria (1959) believed that both T. anolabiata and T. digitata were valid species, Rodrigues (1992) lists T. digitata and T. lutzi as synonyms of T. anolabiata. However, molecular assays would be of great use in validating the avian species of Thelazia (Elias et al 2008). In the Peruvian study, clinical signs of the infected bird (keratoconjunctivitis) were resolved with treatment with ivermectin and ciprofloxacin.…”

Een vijf jaar oude, vrouwelijke Chinese zaagbekeend werd aangeboden met een chronische en wederkerende conjunctivitis van het linkeroog. Op klinisch onderzoek werden overvloedige traanvloei en een kazig nodulair letsel vastgesteld ter hoogte van de palpebrale conjunctiva. Bij autopsie werd een kazig, necrotisch beleg waargenomen ter hoogte van de linkerconjunctiva en de infraorbitale sinus, en er waren multipele granulomen in diverse interne organen aanwezig. Histologisch onderzoek toonde granulomateuze splenitis, hepatitis, arteritis, fibrinonecrotiserende enteritis, conjunctivitis en tevens amyloïdose van lever en milt aan. Bacteriologisch en moleculair onderzoek van de conjunctiva bij het levende dier toonde respectievelijk de aanwezigheid van een multiresistente Escherichia coli en Chlamydia psittaci aan. Deze bacteriën bleken van ondergeschikt pathogeen belang. Pre mortem werd echter geen cytologisch onderzoek of ziehlneelsen (ZN)-kleuring op de histologische coupe van het conjunctivabiopt uitgevoerd. Bovendien werden pre mortem geen bijkomende onderzoeken, zoals bloedonderzoek en radiografie, uitgevoerd. De definitieve diagnose van een Mycobacterium avium-infectie ter hoogte van de conjunctiva en de inwendige organen werd pas bevestigd na autopsie door middel van een ZNkleuring en polymerasekettingreactie (PCR)- analyse. Lokale en systemische behandelingen met antimicrobiële producten, zoals fluoroquinolonen, tetracyclinen en aminoglycosiden, waren niet succesvol.

“…In this particular case, one must consider the possibility that M. sturni was the sole or primary cause of disease, but co-infection with M. gallisepticum or some other causes of conjunctivitis cannot be ruled out. Nonmycoplasmal causes of conjunctivitis in passerines include Thelazia analabiata (Elias et al, 2008), herpesvirus (Mueller, 1990;Paulman et al, 2006), avipoxvirus (Hukkanen et al, 2003), paramyxovirus (Schemera et al, 1987), and toxoplasmosis (Vickers et al, 1992). Host and environmental factors may also play important roles in infection and disease, and stress or co-infections (polymicrobial disease) may result in different outcomes (Lindstrom et al, 2005).…”

Mycoplasma sturni from a California House Finch with Conjunctivitis Did Not Cause Disease in Experimentally Infected House Finches

Mycoplasma gallisepticum conjunctivitis emerged in 1994 as a disease of free-ranging House Finches (Carpodacus mexicanus) in North America and has also been isolated from other songbirds with conjunctivitis. A key feature for the successful study of natural and experimental disease has been the apparent, very-high correlation between characteristic eye lesions and M. gallisepticum. Mycoplasma sturni was originally isolated from an adult European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) with bilateral conjunctivitis and has since been reported in a relatively small number of other avian species, but not in House Finches. We identified as M. sturni a mycoplasma isolate from a California House Finch with conjunctivitis. However, experimental infection of House Finches with the M. sturni isolate failed to reproduce the disease. Therefore, M. gallisepticum remains the primary known cause of conjunctivitis in House Finches.
