| description | 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. |
