It is a condition caused by Salmonella typhimurium var. Copenhagen.
Paratyphoid is a difficult disease to eradicate. The bacteria can survive in lofts for a long time. This is due to the fact that the germs can remain viable 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.
