| Abstract: | Seven out of 10 birds in a mixed group of blue and gold macaws (Ara arauna), scarlet macaws (A. macao), and hybrid macaws developed ataxia, torticollis, and depression after being placed on an island exhibit accessible to raccoons (Procyon lotor). Larvae of Baylisascaris procyonis were found in cerebrospinal tissue from six of the macaws. |
