title: [A reservoir of Shigella of avian origin: herons and birds of prey of the zoological garden in Tananarive].
abstract: The authors record the bacteriological characters of four Shigella strains: S. dysenteriae 2 and S. boydii 9, respectively isolated in a bird-of-prey and in three herons, kept in the zoological Garden in Antananarivo. The significance of this Malgasian avian reservoir of Shigella is discussed.
