Participation of birds in the circulation of pathogenic fungi descend from water environments: a case study of two species of Charadriiformes birds

tom 05

nr 2

Mycological studies covered two species of Charadriiformes birds: Dunlin - Calidris alpina (41 individuals) and Ringed plover - Charadrius hiaticula (8 individuals). Swabs were collected from their beaks cavity and cloacae. Fungi (38 strains) were isolated from 29 birds (59.18% of the investigated). The most abundant were the yeast-like fungi (Candida, Cryptococcus, Rhodotorula), substantially dominated by Candida. albicans, which constituted 42.11% of all the fungi obtained. The fungi of the Aspergillus and Cryptococcus genera were found considerably less frequently (23.68% and 15.79%, respectively). The fungi isolated from beaks (19 birds) can be acknowledged as commensals (although parasitism cannot be excluded), whereas the fungi from cloacae (5 birds) may indicate mycosis of the gastrointestinal tract. As all of these fungi are potentially pathogenic to humans and animals, the examined birds were found to be an important link in the epidemiological chain of mycoses, associated with water reservoirs or infected birds.
