It is a condition caused by Salmonella typhimurium var. Copenhagen.
Paratyphoid is a disease that is difficult to eradicate. The bacteria is able to survive in lofts for a long time. This is due to the fact that germs can stay alive for a long time in the loft, but also because some pigeons can be carrier hosts, without clinical symptoms... These are often pigeons that do not seem to be affected, but at certain intervals they excrete this bacteria. Mainly during stressful periods.
