Risiko for øget spredning af blåmejsesygdom i Sverige

Dansk

Statens Veterinärmedicinska Anstalt (SVA) i Sverige advarer om en risiko for øget spredning af den dødelige blåmejsesygdom i Sverige i år. Rapporter om syge og døde småfugle, primært blåmejser, er steget siden februar. SVA har bekræftet sygdommen på sin hjemmeside.

Sveriges Statens Veterinärmedicinska Anstalt (SVA) har bemærket en tydelig stigning i rapporter om syge og døde småfugle siden februar. Det rammer primært blåmejser, men musvitter kan også blive påvirket.

"Vi modtager normalt spredte rapporter om syge småfugle i vores overvågning af vildtlevende dyrs sygdomme, men dette ser vi som en udtalt tendens med flere syge blåmejser end normalt," siger Karin Olofsson-Sannö, vice-statsdyrlæge hos SVA.

Blåmejsesygdom skyldes en bakterie, der fører til lungebetændelse og hurtig død hos fuglene. SVA modtager nu rapporter fra hele landet om "dynger af døde småfugle" ved foderbrædderne. "Den ene dag ser de helt raske ud, den næste dag kan der ligge en bunke døde fugle ved foderbrættet," tilføjer Olofsson-Sannö.

Et større udbrud af sygdommen ramte sidst Sverige i 2020.
