“…Leucocytosis with heterophilia and monocytosis has been associated with avian mycobacteriosis in birds; e. g., Hawkey et al (1990) made the same observation in M. a. avium-infected domestic fowl and cranes and Saggese et al (2008) in infected ring-neck doves. Monocytosis has been considered as a significant marker of avian mycobacteriosis in birds (Hawkey et al 1990).…”

“…(Saggese et al 2008;Kriz et al 2011). The localisation of tuberculous lesions in the female bird described here suggests an oral route of infection with subsequent dissemination of the causative agent through the gastrointestinal tract into the parenchymatous organs.…”

“…Further captive subpopulations of Mauritian Pink pigeons have been established in many zoological collections around the world. Avian mycobacteriosis caused by M. a. avium has been occasionally observed in various columbids (Saggese et al 2008;Kriz et al 2011); however, according to the available literature it has not yet been described in Mauritian Pink pigeons.…”

ABSTRACT:Avian mycobacteriosis was diagnosed in one female Mauritian Pink pigeon (Nesoenas mayeri) from a zoological collection. The bird displayed clinical symptoms of apathy, loss of body weight, ruffled feathers and diarrhoea. Necropsy revealed nodular lesions in the internal organs. Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium was isolated and also directly detected using qPCR in the female's liver. Avian mycobacteriosis may pose a threat to efforts directed towards conservation of this endangered species.

“…On necropsy, macroscopic lesions were seen in the liver, spleen and intestine of all the affected raptors, which is the typical feature of AM in birds (Sykes, 1982;Thorel et al, 1997;Millán et al, 2004;Saggese et al, 2008). According to the distribution of the lesions, the affected birds probably contracted the infection by ingestion.…”

Avian mycobacteriosis is a chronic, infectious disease caused by different species of mycobacteria, usually belonging to the Mycobacterium avium complex. From 2004 to 2007, 589 raptors brought dead or sick to a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Majorca (Balearic Islands, Spain) were necropsied. The birds belonged to 12 different species, chiefly common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) (n0297), scops owl (Otus scops) (n 0109), barn owl (Tyto alba) (n 075), long-eared owl (Asio otus) (n 058), peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) (n 027), and booted eagle (Hieraaetus pennatus) (n013). Gross lesions compatible with mycobacteriosis were observed in 14 birds (2.4%) found in several locations in Majorca. They were 12 kestrels (prevalence in this species, 4.0%), one long-eared owl (1.7%) and one scops owl (0.9%), all the birds presenting whiteÁyellowish nodules from pinpoint size to 1 cm in diameter in diverse organs, mainly in the liver, spleen and intestine. Affected organs were subjected to bacteriology and molecular identification by polymerase chain reaction and, in all cases, infection with M. avium subspecies avium was confirmed. The observed prevalences are similar to those previously observed in Holland, although the actual prevalence detected in this study is likely to be higher than reported because only birds with gross lesions were subjected to culture. Further molecular characterization with a set of six mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unitÁvariable number tandem repeat loci was used to sub-type the isolates in order to show the existence of possible epidemiological links. Six different genotypes were found, which points to infection from multiple foci. No temporal or geographical aggregation of the cases was observed to be associated with the presence of positive birds or with the different variable number tandem repeat allelic profiles. The most feasible origin might be water or food sources, although the reservoir of mycobacteria remains unknown.

“…No diseases were found except hypervitaminosis and worm infestations. Diseases occurred in albinos 63.3% and in wild type this is 77.7% (Saggese et al, 2008). Feeding: Feed was supplied all day long with wheat, corn, mustard, broken rice and burnt soil.…”

Two pairs of domesticated Eurasian Collared Dove Streptopelia decaocto reared at eighteen months for its breeding performance in intensive system. One pair was homozygous albino al//al x al//al and another pair was one wild type +//al and another albino al//al. Another experimented four pairs of doves were produced from these two pairs. Out of six pairs total 114 squabs were produced during the research period. Total three albino pairs produced 100% albino squab and different coloured male and female produced different colours which were 50% each. Sex ratio of male and female were observed 1:1. Experimental doves were reared in cages measures 23x20x16 and 25x22x18 inches and feed were supplied all day long with wheat, corn, mustard, broken rice and burnt soil. Intake feed were 15 gram per dove in a day. During the time of this observation only hypervitaminosis and worm infestations were observed and the mortality rate was few. Only in one pair (rosy ♂ x wild type ♀) produced 11 male (46%) and 13 female (54%) out of 24 squabs; this was slightly exceptional. In total 114 squabs from six pairs only one rosy male and pied rosy female were found. Breeding record of this research suggests that the colour patterns are first wild type then rosy and finally albino gradually.
