Abstract

An outbreak of Type C botulism in waterbirds was investigated at Lake Lalbert in northwestern Victoria, Australia. Total losses were estimated at 1,500 birds, with 80% of affected birds being grey teal (Anas gibberifrons). The outbreak was associated with a falling water level, and extensive decomposition of plant material.

摘要

澳大利亚维多利亚州西北部的拉尔伯特湖发生了一起水鸟C型肉毒中毒疫情。据估计，总损失达1500只鸟，其中80%的受影响鸟类为灰鸭（Anas gibberifrons）。此次疫情与水位下降以及植物材料的大量腐烂有关。
