Avian bornavirus in free-ranging waterfowl in North America and Europe [PDF]
, 2015 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 ...

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

Conservation 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 ...

The isolation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, transmission, and control of avian bornavirus and proventricular dilatation disease. [PDF]
Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract, 2010 Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a common infectious neurologic disease of birds comprising a dilatation of the proventriculus by ingested food as a result of defects in intestinal motility, which affects more than 50 species of psittacines, and is also known as Macaw wasting disease, neuropathic ganglioneuritis, or lymphoplasmacytic ...

Current trends in RNA virus detection through metatranscriptome sequencing data
FEBS 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
Acta 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.

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

Complete genome sequence of avian bornavirus genotype 1 from a Macaw with proventricular dilatation disease. [PDF]
J Virol, 2012 ABSTRACT Avian bornaviruses (ABV) were first detected and described in 2008. They are the etiologic agents of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), a frequently fatal neurologic disease of captive parrots. Seven ABV genogroups have been identified worldwide from a variety of sources, and that number may increase as surveillance for novel ...
