It is a condition caused by Salmonella typhimurium var. Copenhagen.
Paratyphoid is a disease difficult to eradicate. The bacteria is capable of surviving in lofts for a long time. This is due to the fact that the germs can remain alive in the loft for a long time, but also because some pigeons can be asymptomatic carriers... These are often pigeons that do not appear to be affected, but at certain intervals they excrete this bacteria, mainly during stressful periods.
