Gale des oiseaux


Explanation:
On dit aussi "gale des poules" pour les oiseaux domestiques d'élevage. C'est une maladie qui se transmet aux humains, et se traduit par de grosses lésions rouges sous la peau, sans forcément s'associer à des démangeaisons ou du prurit. Pour les oiseaux, la peau s'effrite et les plumes deviennent ternes, et parsemées. Un traitement cutané entraîne une guérison rapide et sérieuse.
