“…Free-ranging or other pet birds can be subclinical carriers and serve as a reservoir for the aviary (Gerlach, 1994;Shima & Osborn, 1989). Sato & Aoyagi (1996) showed that S. Typhimurium infection persisted for 22 days in zebra finches (Poephila guttata). In addition, rats, flies and other vermin may also serve as vectors of Salmonella spp.…”

High mortalities in 17 canary flocks from different regions of Tehran, Iran, were reported. Necropsy and histopathologic examination revealed necrotic hepatitis and overall congestive septicaemia in carcasses. Salmonella enterica was isolated from 34 examined samples, two samples from each flock, including visceral organs of carcasses and droppings of live diseased birds. All isolates were typed as Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium by conventional serotyping. Antibiotic resistance profiling using 33 antibiotics and random amplification of polymorphic DNA differentiation by three primers were performed and showed an identical clonal relationship between these isolates and S. Typhimurium isolated from a sample of feedstuffs. Changing the feed ingredients along with antibiotic therapy via the drinking water by enrofloxacin solution controlled the outbreaks, and mortalities ceased. The zoonotic nature of S. Typhimurium and close contact of bird owners with pet birds in the home environment made the case significant in relation to public health.

“…The authors confirmed that excretion of S. Typhimurium could last more than 3 weeks in infected bengalees and zebra finches which are very popular cage birds [14,15]. Tanaka et al [17] reported that carrier dogs with S. Typhimurium excreted the same serotype for 2 to 3 months or longer into feces.…”

“…Subcultures Salmonellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infections. Companion animals including birds are considered as an important reservoir of the disease [6,11,14,15]. Salmonella infection in zoo animals is also very important to public health, because these animals are kept in close contact with humans [7].…”

ABSTRACT. Seven sika deer (Cervus nippon) in a herd of 30 deer in a park died. Upon examination of three dead deer, Salmonella Typhimurium was isolated from the organs and intestinal contents. Histopathological examination revealed catarrhal enteritis and focal necroses in the liver. Immunohistochemically, Salmonella antigen of O4 was detected in the enteric lesions. The case was diagnosed as S. Typhimurium infection in the sika deer. Because of the importance of Salmonella in public health, fecal and soil samples were continuously collected from the paddock. However, no Salmonella was isolated from any samples collected after medication of the deer and thorough disinfection of the immediate environment.-KEY WORDS: public health, Salmonella Typhimurium, sika deer.
