The following unusual diseases were diagnosed in birds submitted to the Veterinary Research Institute, Victoria, between 1978 and 1987: the viral diseases beak and feather disease of psittacines, infectious laryngotracheitis in peafowls, a papovavirus-like inclusion body disease in psittacines, and pox; chlamydiosis; the bacterial diseases actinomycosis, listeriosis and mycobacteriosis; the fungal diseases favus, yeast infections and systemic zygomycosis; the protozoan diseases cryptosporidiosis, hexamitiasis, suspected leucocytozoonosis, sarcosporidiosis, toxoplasmosis, trichomoniasis and an unidentified protozoan-like organism which caused pneumonia in ducks; a variety of parasites; the metabolic disorders curled-toe paralysis in pheasant poults, encephalomalacia and parenchymatous goitre; toxicity due to dimetridazole and the ingestion of the leaves of the tobacco tree; and other non-infectious conditions including asphyxiation, burns, cataracts, cerebellar degeneration and atrophy, cystic right oviducts and exertional rhabdomyolysis.

The prevalence of Sarcocystis species in muscle samples from gazelles kept as breeding groups at the King Khalid Wildlife Research Centre, Saudi Arabia, was determined by fibreoptic examination, pepsin digestion and histological techniques. No macroscopic sarcocysts were detected by fibreoptic examination, and the overall prevalence of Sarcocystis was 66 x 7 per cent by pepsin digestion, and 39 x 9 per cent by histological examination. By digestion, the tongue contained the highest density of bradyzoites in Gazella dorcas, and Gazella gazella erlangeri, the oesophagus in Gazella subgutturosa marica and skeletal muscle in Gazella gazella and Gazella thomsoni. Skeletal muscle was least affected in G dorcas, the oesophagus in G gazella, and the diaphragm in G g erlangeri, G s marica and G thomsoni. By histology, the heart contained most microcysts, except in G g erlangeri, in which the tongue was most affected. No single tissue type was therefore suitable for the diagnosis of sarcocystosis in this multispecies collection, although digestion was more sensitive in detecting infection than histology. The level of Sarcocystis infection was significantly higher in free-ranging gazelles kept in a main enclosure than in gazellas kept in breeding pens, and higher in adult gazelles than in juveniles.
