Psittacosis
 Websites presented in alphabetical order Psittacosis 
 Brief overview of this disease (sometimes referred to as "parrot fever"), which "is acquired by inhaling dried secretions from infected birds. ... Although all birds are susceptible, pet birds (parrots, parakeets, macaws, and cockatiels) and poultry (turkeys and ducks) are most frequently involved in transmission to humans." From the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dbmd/diseaseinfo/psittacosis_t.htm Topics: Diseases & Conditions Last updated Jul 9, 2008 |
