There are also diseases of the vascular part of the lungs. Some of these diseases are caused by unfavorable conditions as exposure to cold, drafts of air, or moist air or to improper food. Others are due to specific organisms. Most of the latter are con- tagious. Exposure to unfavorable conditions also reduces the abilitv of the birds to resist infectious diseases.
