Abstract
Passeriformes populations have experienced a marked decline in number during the last decades. Several infectious agents have been described as key factors for this population’s decrease, as they can cause mortal diseases like the recently reported Suttonella ornithocola. S. ornithocola is a bacterium from the Cardiobacteriaceae family that has been linked to several outbreaks. This systematic review aims to collect all the scientific information available about S. ornithocola to better understand its epidemiology and pathogenesis and to assess the potential hazard that it can pose to garden songbirds. Although it has been considered a respiratory pathogen, S. ornithocola has been isolated from several organs, suggesting a systemic pathogenesis. However, it has also been described as a normal taxon from the microbiota of some bird species. Therefore, further studies in healthy birds are necessary to establish if S. ornithocola is a primary pathogen or an opportunistic bacterium in songbirds.
在过去的几十年里，雀形目鸟类的数量明显减少。有几种传染性病原体被认为是导致这一种群数量减少的关键因素，因为它们会引起致命的疾病，比如最近报道的Suttonella ornithocola。S. ornithocola 是一种心杆菌科细菌，曾多次爆发疫情。本系统性综述旨在收集有关 S. ornithocola 的所有科学信息，以更好地了解其流行病学和致病机理，并评估其对园林鸣禽的潜在危害。虽然它一直被认为是一种呼吸道病原体，但从多个器官中都分离出了 S. ornithocola，这表明它是一种全身性致病菌。不过，它也被描述为某些鸟类微生物群中的正常分类群。因此，有必要对健康鸟类进行进一步研究，以确定鸟疫杆菌是鸣禽的主要病原体还是机会性细菌。
期刊介绍：
European Journal of Wildlife Research focuses on all aspects of wildlife biology. Main areas are: applied wildlife ecology; diseases affecting wildlife population dynamics, conservation, economy or public health; ecotoxicology; management for conservation, hunting or pest control; population genetics; and the sustainable use of wildlife as a natural resource. Contributions to socio-cultural aspects of human-wildlife relationships and to the history and sociology of hunting will also be considered.
