Presence of Avian Bornavirus RNA and Anti-avian Bornavirus Antibodies in Apparently Healthy Macaws

Avian Diseases Digest, 2009
Recently a novel avian bornavirus has been described that has been suggested to be the possible etiological agent for proventricular dilatation disease or macaw wasting disease. This article describes two macaws that shed avian bornaviral RNA sequences and demonstrated anti-avian bornavirus antibodies as revealed by reverse transcriptase polymerase ...

Vertical Transmission of Avian Bornavirus in Psittaciformes: Avian Bornavirus RNA and Anti-Avian Bornavirus Antibodies in Eggs, Embryos, and Hatchlings Obtained from Infected Sun Conures (Aratinga solstitialis)

Avian Diseases, 2012
Fertilized eggs were obtained from four pairs of sun conures (Aratinga solstitialis) infected with avian bornavirus (ABV) genotype 2, as determined by the sequence of the P24 gene. ABV RNA could be detected in early embryos of all four pairs. ABV RNA also was detected in brain, liver, and eyes of late-stage embryos of one of the pairs (Pair 4) and in ...

The Detection of Avian Bornavirus Within Psittacine Eggs

Journal of Avian Medicine and Surgery, 2012
Avian bornavirus (ABV) is a known cause of proventricular dilatation disease in parrots and encephalitis in waterfowl and is a significant cause of both morbidity and mortality in captive birds. Transmission is thought to occur primarily by the fecal-oral route.

Molecular epidemiology of avian bornavirus from pet birds in Japan

Virus Genes, 2013
Recently, Avian bornavirus (ABV) was detected in proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) affected-birds and feather picking diseases affected-birds. However, the pathogenicity of ABV has not been thoroughly investigated. In this study, we surveyed ABV in pet birds in Japan. We found four ABV-infected birds among 93 pet birds using RT-PCR, and genotypes

Detection of Avian Bornavirus in Wild and Captive Passeriformes in Brazil

Avian Diseases, 2019
Avian bornaviruses (ABVs) are the causative agents of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), a fatal neurologic disease considered to be a major threat to psittacine bird populations. We performed a reverse transcription PCR survey to detect the presence of canary avian bornavirus (CnBV) in birds of order Passeriformes related to different clinical ...

Meloxicam Treatment in Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) Infected With Avian Bornavirus

Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine, 2013
Abstract This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of meloxicam in the treatment of proventricular dilatation disease induced by challenge with avian bornavirus (ABV), strain M24. Three groups of 4 cockatiels were employed. Group 1 was challenged with ABV alone, group 2 was challenged with ABV and 20 days later began daily oral ...

New genotype of avian bornavirus in wild geese and trumpeter swans in Canada

Veterinary Record, 2011
AVIAN bornavirus (ABV), a newly discovered agent, has been identified as the causal agent of proventricular dilation disease (PDD) in psittacine birds (Honkavuori and others 2008, Kistler and others 2008). Subsequent research, including bird inoculation studies (Gancz and others 2009, Gray and others 2010) and outbreak investigations (Kistler and ...

Follow-Up Investigations on Different Courses of Natural Avian Bornavirus Infections in Psittacines

Avian Diseases Digest, 2012
To study the course of natural avian bornavirus (ABV) infection, 63 psittacines of three bird collections where ABV had been demonstrated were investigated over a period of 1 yr. The psittacines were clinically observed and swabs of crop and cloaca as well as serum samples were collected three separate times at intervals of 2-6 mo.

Discovery of a new avian bornavirus genotype in estrildid finches (Estrildidae) in Germany

Veterinary Microbiology, 2014
Avian bornaviruses (ABV) are known to be the causative agent of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) in parrots and their relatives (Psittaciformes). A broad range of ABV genotypes has been detected not only in psittacine birds, but also in other avian species including canary birds (Serinus canaria forma domestica) and Bengalese finches (Lonchura ...

Surveillance for Avian Bornavirus in Colorado and Wyoming, USA, Raptor Populations

Journal of Wildlife Diseases
Avian bornavirus (ABV) is known to infect at least 80 avian species and is associated with avian bornaviral ganglioneuritis (ABG). Avian bornaviral ganglioneuritis is characterized by a lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the nervous tissue, mainly affecting the nerves that supply the gastrointestinal tract of birds. This disease is diagnosed commonly in
