Offspring feeding on contaminated species of the order purchase 250mg ponstel mastercard spasms from coughing, creating a high number of false- crop regurgitations (eg, crop milk in pigeons) may positive results (low specificity). Because these en- zymes are phylogenetically old and highly conserved, Primary pathogenic strains, ie, strains that can dam- they do not vary much between genera. Physical meth- age epithelial cells and cause disease without addi- ods such as electrophoresis (combined with blot meth- tional factors, have to be distinguished from secon- ods) are more reliable than serologic methods for differ- dary pathogenic strains that need predamaged entiating between species or strains. Mycoplasmatales preferably colonize the mucosa of the respiratory and the genital tracts. Transmission Strains capable of inducing systemic infections can Mycoplasmatales are relatively low in infectivity. Infections start with Close contact between individuals is necessary for the adsorption of the organism to the surface of host transmission, and infections are most common in cells (including erythrocytes with hemagglutinating dense populations (Figure 38.

Because the by the gonads of both sexes as well as hematologically agent may be hidden in the recesses of the host cell through the body. Infected air sacs can lead to contact membrane, it can remain rather inaccessible by transmission of the ovary (and developing follicle). As a Transovarian transmission is epornitically impor- consequence, only negligible amounts of humoral an- tant, although in clinically healthy breeders, the egg tibodies, if any, are produced.

Crop Stasis Failure of the crop to empty normally is a common sign of illness in nestling birds 500mg ponstel otc spasms after gallbladder surgery. Com- ferment and have a sour odor — hence the lay term plete stasis may be one of the early signs associated “sour crop” (Color 30. With these Causes of crop stasis include: progressive diseases, treatment may not be success- Primary crop disorders: foreign bodies, crop infec- ful. If the stasis is caused by a microbial infection tions; crop atony caused by overstretching; crop (yeast, bacteria or chlamydia), intensive medical burns; crop impactions caused by fibrous food, management may be effective. Treatment consists of large food chunks (eg, raw carrots) or bedding; and antimicrobial therapy targeting the etiologic agent, dehydration of food in the crop leading to forma- correcting the dehydration and malnutrition that tion of a concretion or doughy mass. Severe burns can result from a single, overly heated The motility of a normally functioning crop that is meal (eg, greater than 120°F), or by repeated expo- free of infectious agents should not be altered by the sure to food that is slightly hot (115°F). The crop should be examined readily accept hot food, and the feeder may not rec- and gently palpated to determine if it is atonic or ognize a problem for days to weeks after the burn burned, or if foreign material or an impaction is occurs. Whole body radiographs can be used to evaluate the distal alimentary tract and barium The method of treatment depends on the degree of contrast studies can be used to determine gastroin- tissue damage and stage of healing. The crop can be swabbed or sult in tissue swelling, erythema and blister forma- flushed for culture and cytology. The crop should not be overstretched, as volumes more frequently during the healing process. Mild cases of crop stasis caused by a dehydrated food Severe crop burns cause greater tissue damage. In mass or overfeeding can often be solved by adminis- the early stages the crop will adhere to the overlying tering a small amount of warm water and gently skin; the skin will be hyperemic and the site may be massaging the crop. Eventually the crop may fistu- to five hours, the crop should be emptied and flushed late, and food and water will leak from the crop with warm saline. Crop fistulas are flush the crop, a lubricated soft feeding tube with an treated by removing the scab, surgically excising the open end is gently passed into the crop, and a small necrotic portion of the skin and crop and then sepa- amount of saline is flushed in and out to draw crop rating and individually closing the crop and skin (see material into the syringe.
