Occurrence of enteropathogenic bacteria in birds of prey in Italy

Abstract

This study confirms the role of birds of prey as a reservoir of enteropathogenic bacteria (i.e. Campylobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp.). Wild birds can contaminate environment with their faeces and play a crucial role in the transmission of pathogens to poultry and livestock farms and aquifers supplying water to humans. Furthermore, wild birds could disseminate pathogens within rescue and rehabilitation centres where they are admitted.

Screening of Salmonella spp. and Chlamydophila psittaciin parrots domiciled in Rio Branco, Acre, Brazil

“…The collected material was kept in tubes and maintained in an oven at 36 °C for 24 h. After 24 h, the samples were homogenized and subjected to selective enrichment in Rappaport Vassiliadis broth at 42 °C for 24 h, according to Pickler et al (2012) and Gargiulo et al (2018). Samples obtained from selective enrichment were plated on bright green agar and xylose-lysine-deoxycholate agar, which were streaked to obtain isolated colonies.…”

Analysis of ultrastructural morphometric changes of pigeon kidneys affected by colibacteriosis

“…in Ukraine [5,6] and Russia [7] also indicated a significant spread of the disease throughout the territory. Among infectious diseases, colibacteriosis played a key role, since the E. coli bacterium can be acted both as a mono-infection and a poly-infection.…”

Camostat mesilate inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion and improves cell viability by regulating MFGE8 and HMGN1 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated DF-1 chicken embryo fibroblasts

“…Gram-negative bacteria, a group of pathogens infecting all eukaryotes, can trigger multitudinous diseases (e.g., infertility and fowl cholera) in birds including chickens (Deb, Chatturvedi & Jaiswal, 2004;Harper & Boyce, 2017;Neyen & Lemaitre, 2016). Moreover, birds carrying bacteria can transmit pathogens to other animals and human, which seriously influences public health and food safety (Gargiulo et al, 2018;Abebe, Gugsa & Ahmed, 2020;Nga et al, 2019). Toxins and virulent factors generated by bacteria play vital roles in the determination of the pathogenesis of these pathogens (Abebe, Gugsa & Ahmed, 2020).…”
