Brain acetycholinesterase activity in botulism-intoxicated mallards Brain acetycholinesterase activity in botulism-intoxicated mallards

Brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in captive-reared mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) that died of botulism was compared with euthanized controls. AChE levels for both groups were within the range reported for normal mallards, and there was no significant difference in mean AChE activity between birds that ingested botulism toxin and died and those that did not.

Isolation of poxvirus from debilitating cutaneous lesions on four immature grackles (Quiscalus sp.) Isolation of poxvirus from debilitating cutaneous lesions on four immature grackles (Quiscalus sp.)

Poxvirus was isolated from nodules on four immature grackles (Quiscalus sp.) collected in two residential areas of Victoria, Texas. All of the birds were emaciated and had nodules on the eyelids, bill, legs, toes, and areas of the skin on the wings, neck, and ventral abdomen. These pox nodules were extensive and probably interfered with both sight and flight. The preliminary diagnosis...
