Serosurvey for selected infectious agents in two sympatric species of cormorants (Phalacrocorax atriceps and Phalacrocorax magellanicus) from coastal Patagonia, Argentina
We conducted a serologic survey for selected infectious agents on two sympatric cormorants, the Imperial Cormorant (Phalacrocorax atriceps) and the Rock Shag (Phalacrocorax magellanicus). Blood was collected from 267 Imperial Cormorants and 106 Rock Shags at 17 colonies along the Patagonia Atlantic...

Antibodies to four pathogens were common to both species and frequently observed: avian paramyxovirus type 1 (56.2% of Imperial Cormorants and 55.8% of Rock Shags); avian adenovirus (67.3% of Imperial Cormorants and 40.2% of Rock Shags); infectious bronchitis virus serotypes IBV-41, IBV-46, IBV-99, and IBV-JMK (52.5% of Imperial Cormorants and 63.9% of Rock Shags); and Salmonella pullorum (17.7% of Imperial Cormorants and 6.6% of Rock Shags).
