Conteúdo: | A survey for intestinal spirochetes in birds, rats, and pigs was conducted in a zoologic collection and three private rhea farms in Ohio in 1992 to identify a potential source of the strongly B-hemolytic spirochete associated with necrotizing typhlocolitis and death in juvenile common rheas (Rhea americana). From the zoologic collection, five weakly B-hemolytic spirochetes were isolated from coacal swabs obtained from 122 birds representing eight orders, 11 families, and 37 species. Ten weakly B-hemolytic spirochetes were isolated from ceca of 26 wild Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) trapped on the same premises. Three weakly B-hemolytic spirochetes were isolated from cloacal swabs obtained from 21 juvenile rheas (Rhea americana) on three private rhea farms. None of the birds or rats had clinical intestinal disordes. The data indicated that weakly B-hemolytic spirochetes were present in intestinal tracts of birds an in ceca of rats and suggested that weakly B-hemolytic spirochetes were part of the normal flora. A source of the strongly B-hemolytic spirochete was not identified.
