Enteric pathogens with zoonotic potencial identified in wild birds

Abstract

Entheric pathogens can be considered one of the main pathogenic groups of microorganismss in humans and animals. It can stablish infection in susceptible due to contamination of water, food, or by close contact with animals, including wild birds or the breeding environment. The access of wild birds to the environment close to residences predispose peridomestic contamination by feces of passeriforms and psittaciformes. Places like parks and squares can become propitious for propagation of these pathogens due to poor hygiene and free access of wild birds. In this article some enteric pathogens of bacterial and viral origin was revised, which can be considered of high risk for human infection considering the relevance of wild birds in this context.
