Montana Fish、野生生物和公园的生物学家发现,影响米苏拉和Bitterroot山谷鸽子的一种新的疾病是鸽子parmyxo病毒(PPMV-1),不是禽流感。 Biologists from Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks have identified a new disease affecting doves in Missoula and Bitterroot valleys as pigeon paramyxovirus (PPMV-1), not avian flu. 这种病毒会影响鸽子、鸽子和鸬鹚，但对人类或家禽没有危险。 This virus impacts doves, pigeons, and cormorants but is not dangerous to humans or poultry. 专家建议避免与死亡鸟类直接接触,在处置它们时使用手套,以及报告涉及5个或5个以上受影响鸟类的案件。 Experts advise avoiding direct contact with dead birds, using gloves when disposing of them, and reporting cases involving five or more affected birds.
