Avian Bornavirus Associated with Fatal Disease in Psittacine Birds [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2010
ABSTRACT Thanks to new technologies which enable rapid and unbiased screening for viral nucleic acids in clinical specimens, an impressive number of previously unknown viruses have recently been discovered. Two research groups independently identified a novel negative-strand RNA virus, now designated avian bornavirus (ABV), in ...

Recovery of divergent avian bornaviruses from cases of proventricular dilatation disease: Identification of a candidate etiologic agent

Virology Journal, 2008
Background Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a fatal disorder threatening domesticated and wild psittacine birds worldwide. It is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the ganglia of the central and peripheral nervous system ...

Tissue Distribution of Parrot Bornavirus 4 (PaBV-4) in Experimentally Infected Young and Adult Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus)

Viruses, 2022
Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) caused by parrot bornavirus (PaBV) infection is an often-fatal disease known to infect Psittaciformes. The impact of age at the time of PaBV infection on organ lesions and tissue distribution of virus antigen and ...

Villains or heroes? The raison d'être of viruses

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 9, Issue 2, 2020., 2020
Traditionally, viruses have been considered to be ‘pathogens’ that cause diseases in their hosts. In this review, we discuss recent studies that shed light on previously unrecognised beneficial roles of viruses in nature. Abstract The relationship between humans and viruses has a long history.

Factors Influencing Vertical Transmission of Psittacine Bornavirus in Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus)

Viruses, 2022
The transmission of parrot bornavirus is still not fully understood. Although horizontal transmission through wounds can be one route, vertical transmission is still discussed.

Avian Bornaviral Ganglioneuritis: Current Debates and Unanswered Questions

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Avian bornaviral ganglioneuritis, often referred to as parrot wasting disease, is associated with a newly discovered avian virus from the taxonomic family Bornaviridae. Research regarding the pathogenesis and treatment for this disease is ongoing, with implications for understanding other emerging human and nonhuman diseases, as well as the health and ...

Impact of antigenic diversity on laboratory diagnosis of Avian bornavirus infections in birds [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2014
Avian bornaviruses (ABVs) are a group of genetically diverse viruses within the Bornaviridae family that can infect numerous avian species and represent the causative agents of proventricular dilatation disease, an often fatal disease that is widely distributed in captive populations of parrots and related species.

Experimental induction of proventricular dilatation disease in cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) inoculated with brain homogenates containing avian bornavirus 4

Virology Journal, 2009
Background Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a fatal disorder of psittacine birds worldwide. The disease is characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of the central and peripheral nervous systems, leading to gastrointestinal motility and ...
