Avian tuberculosis in a Lady Amherst’s pheasant Chrysolophus amherstiae
Austral journal of veterinary sciences(2017)
Abstract
We report a case of a Lady Amherstâs pheasant (Chrysolophus amherstiae) with diffuse granulomatous lesions in liver, spleen and intestine. Using histopathological and molecular diagnosis we detected Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, etiological agent of avian tuberculosis. Further studies are needed to understand the role of wild birds in the persistence and transmission of this pathogen.
