Abstract:
Emerging infections and re-emerging diseases in birds can be caused by numerous factors and need to be recognized and understood. This article introduces and summarizes author-selected emerging and re-emerging diseases of avian species. These diseases hold significance as they relate to scientific research, disease recognition and identification, avian welfare aspects, and ecosystem health. Some are significant in human health and others affect production medicine. These and many others remain important pathogens of worldwide consequence.
