The digestive tract of the whiteback griffon vulture and its role in disease transmission among wild ungulates.

D C Houston, J E Cooper.   

Abstract

The digestive tract of the whiteback vulture (Gyps africanus) is described. Some disease organisms were fed to a captive bird to discover if they could survive passage through the tract, and the role of these scavenging birds in the spread of diseases among wild ungulates is discussed.
