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

Villains or heroes? The raison d'être of viruses
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.
