Persistence of Psittacine Bornavirus-4 Viral RNA Is Temperature Dependent in Aqueous Environments and Material Dependent in Non-Aqueous Environments [PDF]
Psittacine bornavirus type-4 (PaBV-4) causes proventricular dilatation disease and death among diverse birds, most notably caged parrots and related species, with no known cure or vaccine. Infected birds can shed virus in fecal matter, urine, and feather

A Method for Processing Whole Blood for Heterologous Packed Red Blood Cell Transfusion for Use in a Green-Winged Macaw (Ara chloropterus). [PDF]
Residual plasma and saline following blood component processing to produce a packed red blood cell unit for transfusion in an anemic green‐winged macaw (Ara cholopterus). ABSTRACT An 11‐year‐old male green‐winged macaw (Ara chloropterus) diagnosed with severe anemia required a packed red blood cell transfusion rather than whole blood based on ...

Avian Bornavirus is Present in Many Tissues of Psittacine Birds with Histopathologic Evidence of Proventricular Dilatation Disease [PDF]
Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a neurologic disease of psittacine birds suspected to be caused by a recently identified Avian bornavirus (ABV). In the current report, data supporting the causal association of ABV with PDD are presented. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) with rabbit polyclonal antiserum raised against ABV nucleocapsid protein was ...

Pathogenesis of aquatic bird bornavirus 1 in turkeys of different age [PDF]
Aquatic bird bornavirus 1 (ABBV1), an orthobornavirus in the family Bornaviridae, displays a broad host range among avian species, including poultry. The pathogenesis of orthobornaviruses, at least in mammals and psittacines, appears to be mediated by ...

Serological Surveillance and Risk Factor Analysis for Parrot Bornavirus in Taiwan. [PDF]
Parrots are traded globally and pose a substantial risk for disease transmission involving parrot‐specific pathogens. Parrot bornavirus (PaBV) belongs to the Bornaviridae family and encompasses two clades: alphapsittaciforme (PaBV‐1 to ‐4, PaBV‐7, and ‐8) and betapsittaciforme (PaBV‐5 and PaBV‐6). These clades cause proventricular dilatation disease, a

Avian bornavirus associated with fatal disease in psittacine birds. [PDF]
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 ...

Avian bornavirus in free-ranging waterfowl in North America and Europe [PDF]
The first avian bornavirus (ABV) was identified in 2008 by researchers investigating the cause of proventricular dilation disease in psittacine birds 3,4. A distinctly separate genotype (ABV-CG) was discovered in 2009 in association with neurological disease in free-ranging Canada geese (Branta canadensis) and trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator) in ...
