Between September 1977 and November 1978, chlamydiosis (psittacoisis) was diagnosed in 52 of 128 parrots, 5 of 12 cockatiels, 2 of 5 cockatoos, 3 of 6 macaws, 1 of 22 conures, 2 of 18 lovebirds, and 6 of 76 parakeets; 2 lories and 1 lorikeet were chlamydiosis negative. Two cases of human chlamydiosis were associated with two submissions of parrots subsequently found to have active infection. Twenty parrots (including 13 that were chlamydiosis positive), 2 cockatiels, 1 macaw, 1 lorie, and 1 parakeet yielded salmonella organisms, of which 16 were identified as Salmonella typhimurium, 8 as untypeable monophasic salmonellae of serogroup B, and 1 as S arizonae. Three S typhimurium from parrots that had been treated with chlortetracycline for chlamydiosis were resistant to tetracyclines, streptomycin, and sulfonamides; another isolate was found to be resistant to chloramphenicol only. Severe giardiasis was diagnosed in parakeets originating from six aviaries.
1977年9月至1978年11月期间，128只鹦鹉中有52只被诊断出患有衣原体病（鹦鹉热），12只鸡尾鹦鹉中有5只，5只凤头鹦鹉中有2只，6只金刚鹦鹉中有3只，22只锥尾鹦鹉中有1只，18只牡丹鹦鹉中有2只，76只长尾小鹦鹉中有6只；2只吸蜜鹦鹉和1只彩虹吸蜜鹦鹉衣原体病检测呈阴性。两例人类衣原体病病例与随后被发现患有活动性感染的两份鹦鹉送检样本有关。20只鹦鹉（包括13只衣原体病检测呈阳性的鹦鹉）、2只鸡尾鹦鹉、1只金刚鹦鹉、1只吸蜜鹦鹉和1只长尾小鹦鹉检测出沙门氏菌，其中16株被鉴定为鼠伤寒沙门氏菌，8株为血清群B不可分型单相沙门氏菌，1株为亚利桑那沙门氏菌。从接受过金霉素治疗衣原体病的鹦鹉身上分离出的3株鼠伤寒沙门氏菌对四环素、链霉素和磺胺类药物耐药；另一个分离株仅对氯霉素耐药。对来自六个鸟舍的长尾小鹦鹉诊断出严重贾第虫病。
