An Entity of Type: disease, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Avian vacuolar myelinopathy (AVM) is a fatal neurological disease that affects various waterbirds and raptors. It is most common in the bald eagle and American coot, and it is known in the killdeer, bufflehead, northern shoveler, American wigeon, Canada goose, great horned owl, mallard, and ring-necked duck. Avian vacuolar myelinopathy is a newly discovered disease that was first identified in the field in 1994 when dead bald eagles were found near DeGray Lake in Arkansas in the United States. Since then, it has spread to four more states and infested multiple aquatic systems including 10 reservoirs. The cause of death is lesions on the brain and spinal cord. A neurotoxin called aetokthonotoxin produced by cyanobacteria causes the disease.

  • A mielinopatia vacuolar aviária (AVM) é uma doença neurológica fatal que afeta várias aves aquáticas e aves de rapina. É mais comum na águia-de-cabeça-branca e no galeirão americano, e é conhecido no borrelho-de-dupla-coleira, pato-de-touca-branca, pato-trombeteiro, piadeira-americana, ganso canadense, corujão-orelhudo, pato-real e zarro-de-colar. A mielinopatia vacuolar foi descoberta pela primeira vez em 1994, quando um grande número de carcaças de águia-de-cabeça-branca foram encontradas perto do em Arkansas. Desde então, ele se espalhou para mais quatro estados e infestou vários sistemas aquáticos, incluindo 10 reservatórios. A causa da morte são lesões no cérebro e na medula espinhal, mas o agente causador exato ainda está sendo investigado pelos pesquisadores. Uma neurotoxina chamada aetoctonotoxina produzida por cianobactéria causa mielinopatia vacuolar. (pt)
