Villains or heroes? The raison d'être of viruses
Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 9, Issue 2, 2020., 2020 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.

Impact of antigenic diversity on laboratory diagnosis of Avian bornavirus infections in birds [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2014 Avian bornaviruses (ABVs) are a group of genetically diverse viruses within the Bornaviridae family that can infect numerous avian species and represent the causative agents of proventricular dilatation disease, an often fatal disease that is widely distributed in captive populations of parrots and related species.

Avian Bornaviruses Escape Recognition by the Innate Immune System
Viruses, 2010 Like other pathogens that readily persist in animal hosts, members of the Bornaviridae family have evolved effective mechanisms to evade the innate immune response.

Proventricular Dilatation Disease Associated with Avian Bornavirus in a Scarlet Macaw (Ara Macao) [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2010 A case of proventricular dilatation disease is described in a scarlet macaw( Ara macao) from clinical presentation to diagnosis with molecular methods. The initial clinical signs were depression progressing to head pressing over several days. A leukocytosis with toxic heterophil changes, hypoalbuminemia, and increased serum activity of aspartate ...

Novel avian bornavirus in a nonpsittacine species (Canary; Serinus canaria) with enteric ganglioneuritis and encephalitis. [PDF]
J Virol, 2009 ABSTRACT A canary bird ( Serinus canaria ) died with nonsuppurative ganglioneuritis of the proventriculus and gizzard and encephalitis, lesions comparable to proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) of psittacine birds. Recently, several genotypes of a novel avian bornavirus have been linked to PDD.
