Evolutionarily conserved interaction between the phosphoproteins and X proteins of bornaviruses from different vertebrate species. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Bornavirus, a non-segmented, negative-strand RNA viruses, is currently classified into several genetically distinct genotypes, such as Borna disease virus (BDV) and avian bornaviruses (ABVs).

Renal adenocarcinoma found in a clinically lame marbled duck (Marmaronetta angustirostris)

open access: yesVeterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 11, Issue 3, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Lameness is a frequent reason for captive waterfowl to be presented to a veterinarian. This case report describes unilateral right hindlimb lameness in an 11‐year‐old, female marbled duck kept at a zoological collection in the United Kingdom.

Poaching sources and trade routes in Peru and Ecuador warn of the unsustainable rural demand for preferred parrot species

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Illegal wildlife markets in the Neotropics point to the importance of this activity in the Neotropics. However, illegal trade on a more local scale remains overlooked. Our results show the existence of a selection for certain preferred species, underrepresented in markets, which are also traded over long distances inside the country, even crossing ...

Current trends in RNA virus detection through metatranscriptome sequencing data

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 13, Issue 6, Page 992-1000, June 2023., 2023
This review introduces the progress of RNA virus discovery using large‐scale sequencing data. Particularly, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus‐2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) and related RNA virus identification through metatranscriptome sequencing analyses were summarized.

Structural and biophysical characterization of the Borna disease virus 1 phosphoprotein

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section F, Volume 79, Issue 3, Page 51-60, March 2023., 2023
The phosphoprotein is an essential component of the replication complex in bornaviruses. Here, using X‐ray crystallography, the structure of the phosphoprotein from Borna disease virus 1 is presented and its flexibility in solution is characterized.Bornaviruses are RNA viruses with a mammalian, reptilian, and avian host range.

A New Multiplex Real-Time RT-PCR for Simultaneous Detection and Differentiation of Avian Bornaviruses

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Avian bornaviruses were first described in 2008 as the causative agents of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) in parrots and their relatives (Psittaciformes).

Homozygous CADPS2 Mutations Cause Neurodegenerative Disease with Lewy Body‐like Pathology in Parrots

open access: yesMovement Disorders, Volume 37, Issue 12, Page 2345-2354, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Several genetic models that recapitulate neurodegenerative features of Parkinson's disease (PD) exist, which have been largely based on genes discovered in monogenic PD families. However, spontaneous genetic mutations have not been linked to the pathological hallmarks of PD in non‐human vertebrates. Objective To describe the genetic

Post COVID‐19: a solution scan of options for preventing future zoonotic epidemics

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 96, Issue 6, Page 2694-2715, December 2021., 2021
ABSTRACT The crisis generated by the emergence and pandemic spread of COVID‐19 has thrown into the global spotlight the dangers associated with novel diseases, as well as the key role of animals, especially wild animals, as potential sources of pathogens to humans.
