Abstract:
Four cases of Streptococcus suis infection were diagnosed in psittacine birds and four others in zebrafinches, bullfinches, canaries and a duck. The main clinical and pathological manifestation was septicaemia with multiple sudden deaths in nestlings, young and adults. Other cases were solitary, with evidence for secondary involvement of S. suis. Four serotypable strains all belonged to serotype 9.
