A survey on gram-negative bacteria in saffron finches (Sicalis flaveola) from illegal wildlife trade in Brazil

Abstract: Passerines such as canaries or finches are the most unlawfully captured species that are sent to wildlife centers in São Paulo, Brazil. Captured birds may have infection by opportunistic bacteria in stressful situations. This fact becomes relevant when seized passerine are reintroduced. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health state of finches from illegal wildlife trade using microbiological approaches. Microbiological samples were collected by cloacal and tracheal swabs of 100 birds, captured during … Show more

“…Serratia liquefaciens was the second most frequently isolated bacterium in this study. In the Passeriformes order, this bacterial species has previously been isolated from cloacal swabs of saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola) seized from illegal trade in the city of São Paulo, Brazil (Davies et al 2016). In a study addressing enterobacteria in cardinals (Paroaria dominicana and Paroaria coronata) seized from illegal trade in Sao Paulo, Cunha et al (2016) isolated this bacterial species from cloacal swabs.…”

“…This study used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), based on the protein profile of microorganisms, which is a distinctive and unique molecular fingerprint of a species (Kwak et al, 2015;Santos et al, 2015;Davies et al, 2016b;Stępień-Pyśniak et al, 2017;Davies et al, 2018). Here, MALDI-TOF MS was used as a rapid and accurate Vitek system) (EU 5.9-8.23), also the mean time required for MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry identification of 1 isolate was 6 min.…”

“…There are reports of infection by Acinetobacter spp. associated with mycobacteriosis in falcons (Muller et al, 2010), asymptomatic saffron finch (Sicalis flaveola) seized from illegal wildlife trade (Davies et al, 2016b), in captive grey parrot (Klotz et al, 2018), and in canaries infected by Macrorhabdus ornithogaster (Robino et al, 2019).…”
