Serological Surveillance and Risk Factor Analysis for Parrot Bornavirus in Taiwan
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
