Megabakteriozis

Megabakteriozis gastrik bir mantar olan Macrorhabdus ornithogaster tarafından oluşturulan, daha çok Psittaci ve Passerine ailesine ait kuşlar başta olmak üzere çeşitli kanatlı türlerinde görülen bir infeksiyondur. Hastalık dünyanın birçok bölgesinde bildirilmiş olup, etkenin gelecekte memelilerde de infeksiyonlara neden olabileceğine dikkat çekilmektedir. Megabakteriozisin teşhisi, ajanın kültüre edilmesindeki güçlükler nedeniyle daha çok nekropsi, histopatoloji ve PCR yöntemleriyle yapılmaktadır. Bu derlemede, megabakteriozis ve M. ornithogaster’le ilgili veriler, son gelişmeler ışığında özetlenmiştir.
