Can bacilli infect birds

Answer 1

Yes, bacilli can infect birds. Certain species of bacilli, such as those from the genus Bacillus, can cause diseases in avian species, though they are more commonly known for affecting mammals. Additionally, some pathogenic strains, like Bacillus anthracis, can affect birds under specific conditions. However, the overall impact and prevalence of bacilli infections in birds are generally lower compared to other pathogens.
