Abstract

A total of 80 pigeons from Bursa province, Turkey examined for T gallinae. The prevalence of infection was found as 75.78 %. Although a higher prevalence was observed in young pigeons (83.3 %) compared to adults (76.0 %) there was no significant difference between the age classes. No differences in the prevalence of T gallinae could be found between males (77.7 %) and females (79.5 %). Over the whole study period, 2 clinical cases were detected in young pigeons.
