Association between movement patterns, microbiome diversity, and potential pathogen presence in free-ranging feral pigeons foraging in dairy farms

2023-10-11

Abstract excerpt

The feedback between host behavior and disease transmission is well acknowledged, but empirical studies demonstrating associations between individual’s pathogens or microbiota composition and their movement are rare. We investigated these associations in feral pigeons ( Columba livia domestica ), a synanthrope species known to host a plethora of zoonotic pathogens. We captured pigeons in three dairy farms along a...
