Bird-Transmitted Diseases
Bird pests are widely recognized for carrying a variety of illnesses and serving as hosts for other insect pests.
The spores from bird droppings can potentially cause symptoms comparable to influenza in humans.
Ticks, fleas, and bird mites, for example, are parasite pests that may transfer to humans through pigeons.
Pest insects feed on birds' droppings and nesting materials. In quest of a new food supply, parasites can infiltrate structures.
Gull and Pigeon Diseases
Some of the diseases carried by pigeons and other birds, such as seagulls could make you seriously ill. It is important to act at the first sign of a bird infestation to avoid these associated health hazards.
Salmonella - this bacterium is deposited where pigeons or gulls defecate. It can lead to Salmonellosis and Paratyphoid fever.
Psittacosis - also called Ornithosis or Pigeon Fancier's Lung. This infection can be transmitted by inhaling the bacteria from dried droppings or handling feathers of infected pigeons or seagulls.
Fowl pest - known also as Fowl Plague or Newcastle disease. This virus can be transmitted to people when they’re exposed to faeces and other excretions from infected pigeon birds.
Escherichia coli (E.Coli) - mostly transmitted by seagulls, it can cause gastroenteritis and septicaemia.
Fungal illnesses, such as Histoplasmosis and Cryptococcosis, are conveyed in seagull droppings.
Bird mites are commonly seen in nests and roosting areas. They mostly feed on bird blood, but will sometimes bite people.
