Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: spp. (2.17%). Prevalence was the highest in birds of prey and small passerines (77.78%), moderate in pigeons and doves (58.82%), and the lowest in water birds (27.27%). These results emphasize the role of wild birds as potential reservoirs and vectors of fungal agents, highlighting the importance of continued surveillance and biosecurity measures to mitigate the risk of environmental and zoonotic transmissions.
