| Abstract | ||
| Wild cage birds can be carriers of some human pathogens and some of these can be transmitted to people. Campylobacter bacteria are the most common bacteria that cause gastroenteritis worldwide. Considering people's interests to keep wild cage birds and the potential ability of wild cage birds to transmit Campylobacter to humans, the present study was conducted to evaluate Campylobacter infection in Shahrekord's wild cage birds by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Altogether 80 samples of different wild cage birds (parrot, nightingale, mynah, goldfinch, finch, quail, kingbird) faeces were collected were collected with sterile cotton swabs from different areas of Shahrekord, Iran and evaluated for detection of Campylobacter by bacteriological and PCR methods. Campylobacter was not found in any samples. Present study suggests wild cage birds faeces is not source of Campylobacter in Shahrekord, Iran. | ||
