Evidence for a role of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus gallolyticus in the aetiology of exudative cloacitis in the critically endangered kakapo (Strigops habroptilus)

Rebecca K. French, Stephanie J. Waller, Janelle R. Wierenga…·Jemma L. Geoghegan

The paper identifies extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Streptococcus gallolyticus as potential causative agents of exudative cloacitis in kakapos through metatranscriptomic analysis of lesions and cloacal swabs.

Low hatching success in the critically endangered kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) is driven by early embryo mortality not infertility

J. L. Savage, J. M. S. Crane, Kakapo Recovery Team, N. Hemmings

The study identifies early embryo mortality, not infertility, as the main cause of low hatching success in kakapo, using data on fertilization and artificial insemination.
