Investigation into diseases in free-ranging ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) in northwestern Germany during population decline with special reference to infectious pathogens	2018-02-06		.txt	text/plain	8168	451	46	title: Investigation into diseases in free-ranging ring-necked pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) in northwestern Germany during population decline with special reference to infectious pathogens In the present study, carcasses of 258 deceased free-ranging pheasants of different age groups, predominantly adult pheasants, collected over a period of 4 years in the states of Lower Saxony, North Rhine–Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein, were examined pathomorphologically, parasitologically, virologically and bacteriologically, with a focus set on infectious pathogens. In China, antibodies against infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) were detected in 14 out of 40 samples of free-ranging pheasants (Gu et al. The aim of the present study was to elucidate pathogens in free-ranging pheasants during the current population decline in Northwestern Germany using pathomorphological, virological, microbiological and parasitological investigations. Non-purulent mostly perivascularly accentuated inflammations with different cellular compositions and gradual variable infiltrations of lymphocytes, plasma cells and macrophages were detected in 68 birds (68.7% of affected pheasants) (Fig. 2) .	./cache/cord-268094-ubz0q7e9.txt	./txt/cord-268094-ubz0q7e9.txt
