Example text
There are many other species of bird as companion animals with everything from parrots, parakeets, cockatoos or cockatiels, to racing and fancy pigeons, rare poultry, hawks and owls. Most species have at least one breed society or a network of fanciers. The main zoonotic diseases that birds can harbour are normally spread by inhalation of dried faecal material, often during cleaning out of cages or housing. Most infected people show no signs of disease; however, elderly, young and immunocompromised individuals are particularly at risk.
Caninum and Necator americanus are associated with two clinical conditions affecting human beings: ancylostomiasis and cutaneous larva migrans. The adult worms are found in the gut of cats and dogs and the eggs are passed in the faeces to the soil. Under suitable soil conditions the eggs remain viable for considerable periods. Once hatched the eggs produce larvae that undergo two larval moults in the soil. On attaining the third larval stage they become infective. They can penetrate intact human skin, usually at the base of a hair follicle, or are ingested by consumption of contaminated food or water.
However, obvious risk is not reliable as a diagnostic yardstick, because 20% of cases reviewed in the USA could remember no overt contact with birds. Verification of the presence of C. psittaci may be difficult; as yet there is no rapid test available to differentiate serologically between this and other Chlamydophila spp. Disease in humans The infection may be subclinical, leading to under-diagnosis. Onset of the disease is gradual; an incubation period of 1–2 weeks is followed by a series of symptoms similar to influenza or a respiratory infection.
