Abstract
At Donana National Park, Spain, we compared the prevalence of Staphylo
coccus spp. infections in the Spanish imperial eagle (Aquila adalberti
) in 66 nestlings handled with bare hands and in 46 nestlings handled
with gloved hands, 1986 to 1993. We detected staphylococcal infections
in 30 (45%) of 68 chicks handled without gloves, and in two (4%) of 4
6 chicks handled with gloves.
