| high prevalence of trichomonas gallinae in wild columbids across western and southern europe. | avian trichomonosis is known as a widespread disease in columbids and passerines, and recent findings have highlighted the pathogenic character of some lineages found in wild birds. trichomonosis can affect wild bird populations including endangered species, as has been shown for mauritian pink pigeons nesoenas mayeri in mauritius and suggested for european turtle doves streptopelia turtur in the uk. however, the disease trichomonosis is caused only by pathogenic lineages of the parasite trichom ... | 2017 | 28521843 |
| retrospective review of mortality in captive pink pigeons (nesoenas mayeri) housed in european collections: 1977-2018. | the mauritian pink pigeon (nesoenas mayeri) is vulnerable, with only 400 individuals remaining in the free-living population. a european captive population was established in 1977 and a european endangered species program (eep) in 1992. the eep long-term management plan recommends integrating the eep and free-living mauritius populations through pigeon transfers. a retrospective mortality review of the captive population was performed as part of a disease risk assessment process and to inform in ... | 2020 | 32212559 |
| clinical and pathological findings in two mauritian pink pigeons (columba mayeri). | two mauritian pink pigeons (columba mayeri) from a captive breeding programme, with locomotor disorders were examined clinically and post mortem. one bird was unable to fly owing to a permanent luxation of the left elbow. the other bird had an inclined foot caused by a medial curvature and outward rotation of the tarsometatarsal bone, a deformity similar to the previously recorded 'inclined feet' in birds bred in mauritius. | 1991 | 1926699 |

| trichomonad infection in endemic and introduced columbids in the seychelles. | island endemic avifaunas face many threats, including the now well-documented impacts of pathogens. the impacts of pathogens on the endemic seychelles avifauna, however, have been little studied. the protozoan parasite trichomonas gallinae has been shown to reduce survival and reproductive success of the endemic pink pigeon columba mayeri on the nearby island of mauritius. i investigated trichomonad infection prevalence and pathogenicity in endemic seychelles blue pigeons, alectroenas pulcherrim ... | 2011 | 21719842 |
| trichomonas gallinae in mauritian columbids: implications for an endangered endemic. | although well known as a widespread parasitic disease of columbids and birds of prey, there have been few studies of trichomonosis in populations of wild birds. in mauritius, trichomonosis has been highlighted as a major threat to an endangered endemic, the pink pigeon (neosoenas [columba] mayeri). in this study, we examined the role that populations of other columbids in mauritius might be playing as infectious reservoirs of the causal flagellate protozoan, trichomonas gallinae. we screened 296 ... | 2007 | 17699078 |
| molecular identity and heterogeneity of trichomonad parasites in a closed avian population. | columbids (pigeons and doves) are the primary host of trichomonas gallinae, the flagellate protozoon which causes avian trichomoniasis, a widespread, often lethal disease. although predominantly apathogenic, the organism is paradigmatic for the study of strain-specific virulence, with some strains causing greater than 75% mortality and epizootic die-offs in wildlife populations. in recent years, research on this important emerging pathogen has been neglected and genetic variation within the para ... | 2007 | 17320488 |
| avian blood parasites in an endangered columbid: leucocytozoon marchouxi in the mauritian pink pigeon columba mayeri. | there is increasing evidence that pathogens can play a significant role in species decline. this study of a complete free-living species reveals a cost of blood parasitism to an endangered host, the pink pigeon columba mayeri, endemic to mauritius. we investigated the prevalence and effect of infection of the blood parasite, leucocytozoon marchouxi, in the free-living pink pigeon population. overall, l. marchouxi infection prevalence detected was 18.3%. juveniles were more likely to be infected ... | 2007 | 17201998 |
