Consider the following statements with respect to ‘Avian botulism’
Select the correct statements
olution (a)
Avian botulism is a serious neuromuscular illness of birds caused by a toxin that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Avian botulism has been recognised as a major cause of mortality in wild-birds since the 1900s. The first outbreak in Australia occurred in 1938; one of the earliest major reported die-offs of a large number of waterfowls linked to this disease was encountered in Victoria in 1938.
Avian botulism typically results in paralysis – this results in the infected species exhibiting unusual behaviour. For example, water birds may not be able to hold their head up and as a result, often drown. Gulls can often walk, but not fly. Other birds may drag one or both wings, exhibiting poor posture while standing.
