    Summary

    Psittacosis is a significant zoonotic disease transmitted from birds to humans. This review covers its diagnosis, treatment, pathology, and epidemiology in both species, alongside other potential bird-related zoonoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Zoonotic Diseases
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Psittacosis is a primary zoonotic disease transmissible from avian species to humans.
    • Understanding its transmission and characteristics is crucial for public health.
    • Other avian-related zoonotic diseases and conditions are also relevant.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To comprehensively review the diagnosis, treatment, pathology, and epidemiology of psittacosis.
    • To discuss psittacosis in both human and avian populations.
    • To consider differential diagnoses and related zoonotic risks.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of psittacosis and related zoonotic diseases.
    • Synthesis of information on clinical presentation, diagnostics, and management.
    • Epidemiological data analysis and pathology descriptions.

    Main Results:

    • Psittacosis presents unique diagnostic and treatment challenges in humans and birds.
    • Epidemiological factors influence disease prevalence and transmission dynamics.
    • Differential diagnoses include salmonellosis, toxoplasmosis, and allergic alveolitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of psittacosis requires a One Health approach.
    • Awareness of various bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic zoonoses from birds is essential.
    • Further research into prevention and control strategies is warranted.
