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 ...

Detection and Characterization of a Distinct Bornavirus Lineage from Healthy Canada Geese (\u3ci\u3eBranta canadensis\u3c/i\u3e) [PDF]
Avian bornaviruses (ABV), identified in 2008, infect captive parrots and macaws worldwide. The natural reservoirs of these viruses are unknown. Reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) was used to screen oropharyngeal/ cloacal swab and brain samples from wild ...

Avian Bornavirus: Recombinant N Protein Vaccine and Pathogenesis [PDF]
Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a fatal viral disease that affects mainly psittacine birds, although some non-psittacine species can be affected. Gastrointestinal and/or neurological signs can be seen in PDD-affected birds.

The occurrence of proventricular dilatation disease caused by avian bornavirus (ABV) in captive psittacine birds has long been suspected in South Africa. This report documents the first detection by polymerase chain reaction and gene sequence analyses of ABV from three clinical cases of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) in captive bred blue ...

Development of an in vivo lipopolysaccharide inflammation model to study the pharmacodynamics of COX-2 inhibitors celecoxib, mavacoxib, and meloxicam in cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) [PDF]
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used frequently in avian medicine for their antipyretic, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties during surgery and for diseases that cause tissue damage and inflammation.
