Shedding of zoonotic pathogens and analysis of stomach contents in great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) from Switzerland between 2007 and 2012

208 healthy great cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) shot during 5 consecutive hunting seasons from 2007/2008 until 2011/2012 were tested for Newcastle disease virus (APMV-1), avian influenza virus (AIV), Chlamydiae, and Salmonella spp. In addition, stomach contents were gross macroscopically examined. None of the birds was positive for APMV1, AIV or Chlamydiae. Twice Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium and once a rough mutant of Salmonella Typhimurium were found. Stomach worms were found in 199 cormorants and 12 identifiable fish species in 45 stomaches.

Keywords: great cormorant,Newcastle disease,avian influenza,Chlamydiae,Salmonella spp.

208 gesunde wildlebende Kormorane (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis), geschossen in 5 aufeinander folgenden Jagdsaisons von 2007/2008 bis 2011/2012, wurden auf das Virus der Newcastle Krankheit (APMV1), das Aviäre Influenza Virus (AIV), Chlamydien und Salmonella spp. getestet. Alle Vögel waren negativ für APMV-1, AIV und Chlamydien. Zweimal wurde Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium und einmal eine Rauhform von Salmonella Typhimurium gefunden. Zusätzlich wurde der Mageninhalt makroskopisch untersucht. 199 Kormorane hatten Magenwürmer und in 45 Mägen konnten 12 Fischarten identifiziert werden.

208 cormorans sauvages en bonne santé (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis), tirés au cours de 5 années de chasse consécutives, de 2007/2008 à 2011/2012, ont été testés quant au virus de la maladie de Newcastle (APMV1), au virus de l'influenza aviaire (AIV), aux chlamydias et aux Salmonella spp. Tous les oiseaux étaient négatifs en ce qui concerne APMV-1, AIV et chlamydias. On a isolé deux fois Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium et une fois une forme de base de Salmonella Typhimurium. En outre on a examiné macroscopiquement le contenu stomacal. 199 cormorans étaient atteints de vers gastriques et on a pu identifier, dans 45 estomacs, 12 sortes de poissons différents.

Sono stati controllati 208 cormorani selvatici e sani (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis), durante 5 stagioni di caccia consecutive dal 2007/2008 fino al 2011/2012, per il virus della malattia di Newcastle (APMV-1), per il virus dell'influenza aviaria (AIV), per le clamidie e per la Salmonella spp. Tutti gli uccelli sono risultati negativi all'APMV-1, all'AIV e alle clamidie. Sono state rilevate per due volte la Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium e una volta una forma grezza di Salmonella Typhimurium. Inoltre, il contenuto dello stomaco è stato esaminato macroscopicamente. In 199 cormorani si sono riscontrati vermi dello stomaco e in 45 stomaci sono stati identificate 12 specie di pesci.
