Abstract
Four cases of Streptococcus suis infection were diagnosed in psittacin e birds and four others in zebrafinches, bullfinches, canaries and a d uck. The main clinical and pathological manifestation was septicaemia with multiple sudden deaths in nestlings, young and adults. Other case s were solitary, with evidence for secondary involvement of S. suis. F our serotypable strains all belonged to serotype 9.
