Avian Botulism
The avian botulism is a neuro-muscular illness caused by Botulinum (natural toxin) that is produced by a bacteria — Clostridium botulinum.
The bacteria is commonly found in the soil, rivers, and seawater. It affects both humans and animals.
The bacteria also need anaerobic (absence of oxygen) conditions and do not grow in acidic conditions.
It affects the nervous system of birds, leading to paralysis in their legs and wings.
The outbreaks of avian botulism tend to occur when average temperatures are above 21 degrees celsius, and during droughts.
