Rare species with small population sizes are vulnerable to perturbations such as disease, inbreeding, or random events. The threat arising from microbial pathogens could be large and other species could act as reservoirs for pathogens. We report finding three enteric bacterial species, Salmonella Amager, Campylobacter jejuni, and urease-positive thermophilic Campylobacter, in nestling free-flying peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) in Sweden in 2000. Campylobacter jejuni isolates exhibited marked genetic similarities to an isolate from a human, providing a possible association between a human-associated strain of this bacterium and peregrine falcons.
种群规模较小的珍稀物种容易受到疾病、近亲繁殖或随机事件等干扰。微生物病原体造成的威胁可能很大，其他物种可能成为病原体的宿主。我们报告了2000年在瑞典自由飞行的雏鸟游隼（矛隼）中发现了三种肠道细菌物种，即阿玛格沙门氏菌、空肠弯曲菌和脲酶阳性嗜热弯曲菌。空肠弯曲菌分离株与一株人类分离株表现出显著的遗传相似性，这表明这种细菌的一种与人类相关的菌株与游隼之间可能存在关联。
