Affected birds were 2 to 42 days old and died without premonitory clinical signs or after showing ruffled feathers and anorexia for 24 to 72 hours. Three carcasses were submitted for necropsy, 2 birds had hemorrhagic tracheitis grossly, and all 3 had lymphoplasmacytic and histiocytic myocarditis with myocardial necrosis microscopically. The differential diagnoses and the diagnostic workup to achieve a final diagnosis are discussed. The detection of 2 zoonotic agents in these birds makes this an interesting case from a public health perspective.  aENFERMEDADES DE LOS ANIMALES  aALECTORIS CHUKAR  aAVIAN PATHOLOGY  aENFERMEDADES INFECCIOSAS  aGALLIFORMES  aINFECTIOUS DISEASE  aPATOLOGIA AVIAR  aSALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM  aSALUD ANIMAL  aVIRUS DEL OESTE DEL NILO  aZOONOSIS1 aWOODS, L.W.1 aDIAB, S.S.1 aCROSSLEY, B.M.1 aGIANNITTI, F.  tVeterinary Pathology, 52gn.1.,p.189-192,2015.
