Demographic studies have shown that a significant factor in the population decline on Islay has been reduced survival from fledging to 1\u00a0year of age (juveniles). Understanding the significance of infectious and non\u2010infectious diseases in chough mortality is crucial to the development of successful management strategies aimed at conserving breeding populations of choughs in Scotland and elsewhere.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Postmortem examinations were carried out on 72 choughs found dead or euthanased on welfare grounds on Islay between 2004 and 2024.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Significant burdens of helminths, some not previously recorded in choughs, were found in 18 juvenile choughs (78.3% of all juveniles examined).
