don't no if it gives imunity to them  for long six months they recon, and think my self it helps in you own environment, but there are  three types of paratyphoid and may be  that could react  to mixed birds,  from different lofts as it was made to keep chickens in the same  coop and cattle on the  farms immune, and there last port of call was the slaughter  house,

not mixing with any other live stock but don't know time will tell i know its legal in  belgium

think a few cross wires, paratyphoid is a yearly injection, however on the first vaccination a booster will have to be given 6 months afterwards, and thereafter every year,

the cocks seem to just die but the hen seems to trail the wing and can loss a bit of weight and you are quite right no clue to where it comes from but i have seen the hen turn it right around and be out flying again but will they  race again i just dont know

but i am sure it can pop up again.

i think you have to treat with a full course to eradicate it from pigeons who have it...under medicatiing(not doing the full course) can make certain birds carriers.

pharma belgica de weerd---- parastop helps to keep on top of it been using it for quite a while .

Paratyphoid is specific to pigeons. If they have it, treat with baytril. For protection vaccinate with live vaccine produced specifically for pigeons. The vaccination will protect the birds for a year. Source of the disease is normally from other pigeons but it is spread by rodents and wild birds. Another source of contamination can be chickens.

Some pigeons can carry the disease without showing the symptoms themsevles.
