Introduction The protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis is the most common cellular sexually transmitted disease in humans, and closely related species gallinae an avian of ecological economic importance. Phylogenetic evidence suggests T. arose during bird to human transmission a -like ancestor. shares strong clinical association with independent pathogen Metamycoplasma (formerly Mycoplasma )...

Newcastle disease (ND) also known as Ranikhit disease (RD) is a highly contagious viral disease that attacks many species of domestic and wild birds [1]. Several species of birds are affected by ND with chickens and turkeys being readily susceptible. It was reported that more than 250 species of free living and caged birds have been infected with NDV therefore; it is probable that most avian sp...

zoonoses can be transmitted to people by many birds such as pigeons. considering many people’s interests to keep pigeons, present study was conducted to pcr detection of aeromonas hydrophila that is cause of many human infections such as gastroenteritis, wound infections and septicemia from pigeons in hahrekord. altogether 293 samples of pigeon faeces were collected with sterile cotton swabs fr...

The behavioural responses induced in adult domestic pigeons by intraventricular injections of 0 to 6 IU of ACTH 1-39 are reported. The frequency of 10 different behaviour patterns was recorded for 90 min after administration of the peptide. The effect that was induced was complex, the frequency of some patterns increasing (yawning, headshaking, body shaking, wing-flapping), or some others decre...

The present study reports the isolation of Salmonella enterica in organs of free-living domestic pigeons. In the clinic examination, the presence of feces in the peri-cloacal and abdominal regions were observed, as well as symptoms such as cachexy, incoordination and opisthotonos. Before any therapeutic protocol was applied the bird died and a necropsy was then performed for the removal of sple...
