“…The dye test does not detect T. gondii antibodies in many species of birds, including chickens, but the dye test works well with pigeon sera (Frenkel, 1981;Dubey, 2009). Kirkpatrick et al (1990) reported T. gondii antibodies in 5.9% of 34 pigeons tested by the MAT. Unlike the Kirkpatrick et al (1990), Feldman and Sabin (1949), Manwell and Drobeck (1951), Gibson and Eyles (1957), Franti et al (1975), Jacobs et al (1952) dye test, the MAT detects T. gondii antibodies in all hosts of T. gondii (Dubey, 2009).…”

Ground-feeding birds are considered important in the epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii because they serve as indicators of soil contamination by oocysts, and birds of prey are indicators of T. gondii prevalence in rodents and other small mammals. Cats excrete environmentally resistant oocysts after consuming tissues of T. gondii -infected birds. In the present study, sera and tissues from 382 wild birds from Colorado were tested for T. gondii infection. Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 38 birds with the use of the modified agglutination test (MAT, 1∶25 titer). Tissues (brains, hearts) of 84 birds were bioassayed in mice. Viable T. gondii was isolated from 1 of 1 barn owl (Tyto alba), 1 of 5 American kestrels (Falco sparverius), 1 of 7 ferruginous hawks (Buteo regalis), 1 of 4 rough-legged hawks (Buteo lagopus), 2 of 13 Swainson's hawks (Buteo swainsoni), and 1 of 25 red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis). This is the first time T. gondii has been isolated from the barn owl, ferruginous hawk, rough-legged hawk, and Swainson's hawk.

“…Birçok kanatlı türünde doğal (4,22,23,25,26,44,45,48) ve deneysel (7,9,10,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)37) toksoplazmozis olgularında çeşitli serolojik testler ile enfeksiyonun seropozitifliği saptanmıştır. Baykuş ve güvercinlerde Modifıye aglutinasyon testi (MAT) (25); tavuklarda MAT, Latex aglutinasyon testi (LAT), İndirekt Hemaglutinasyon testi (IHA), ELISA, Sabin-Feldman Dye Test (SFDT) (10); hindilerde MAT (22,26); hindi, tavuk ve ördeklerde MAT (23) ile toxoplazmozis saptanmıştır.…”

“…Doğal enfekte kanatlılarda T. gondii prevalansının önemli ölçüde farklılıklar gösterdiği (1,3,14,21) ve tavuklarda yapılan bioassay denemelerinde beyin ve kalbin birlikte kullanılmasının yararlı olacağı önerilmiştir (3,(22)(23)(24). Yabani kanatlılarda da toksoplazmozis üzerine çalışmalar yapılmış (25)(26)(27) olup, çeşitli ülkelerde kaliforniya bıldırcınında (28), kakarikis papağanında (29), kel kartalda (30) toksoplazmozis vakalarına rastlanılmıştır. Türkiye'de de evcil ve yabani kanatlılar-da toksoplazmozis üzerine araştırmalar yapılmıştır (31)(32)(33)(34)(35).…”
