Con sus hábitos de búsqueda de alimento y refugio, las palomas se encuentran usualmente en lugares con presencia humana. Sin embargo, estos espacios compartidos pueden albergar riesgos para la salud pública por la transmisión de zoonosis. Por tanto, en el presente estudio se explora la relación existente entre la presencia de palomas domésticas (Columba livia) y la morbilidad respiratoria y cutánea autopercibida en individuos de un barrio de Bogotá, Colombia. Se realizó una encuesta transversal en el barrio, de febrero a mayo de 2014. Fue ejecutado un muestreo aleatorio y probabilístico, basado en una lista de viviendas. Se incluyeron todas …

El condrosarcoma, un tumor maligno productor de matriz fibrilar y cartílago hialino, está descrito en gran variedad de especies; sin embargo, es poco conocido en aves sinantrópicas. Este artículo discute el caso clínico de un macho de paloma común (Columba livia) de vida libre en Bogotá, Colombia, rescatado en la fase II del Proyecto Distrito Alas (Convenio 296 de 2019), y remitido al Centro de Atención de Palomas (CAP), con una lesión tumoral en una de sus alas, cuyo diagnóstico fue de condrosarcoma extraesquelético. El cáncer en animales ocurre por la convergencia de múltiples factores internos y externos, entre los …

Although pigeons are reared for recreational purposes in Jammu region, disease occurrence is sparsely documented. Based on clinical signs, lesions and laboratory investigation, approximately 600 out of 4000 (15%) domestic pigeons were found to be disease affected. Necropsy of 60 birds was conducted to determine the cause of death. Haemoproteus columbae demonstrated within erythrocytes and various development stages in tissue and endothelial schizogony caused majority deaths due to pneumonia and hepatitis (45%) accompanied by severe vascular and tissue reaction. Newcastle disease (20%) confirmed by positive serum haemagglutination inhibition manifested in a severe neurological form with characteristic cerebral malacia and demyelination. …

Relationships among 30 pigeon breeds were studied using data from 31 morphological characteristics. The relationships between breeds obtained from the study were rather congruent with the classification used by fanciers groups. The average Euclidean distance between pigeon breeds was 0.93 ± 0.16 STD. The results obtained were very compatible with those described in the literature for each classificatory group. Three large, perfectly definite clusters could be observed in this tree. A cluster was formed by Balearic nonpouter breeds and the Catalan Bare Pigeon. Another cluster occupied an intermediate position and was formed by thief pouters. They shared some remarkable peculiar …
