Bornaviruses in naturally infected Psittacus erithacus in Portugal: insights of molecular epidemiology and ecology [PDF]
Background: The genus Orthobornavirus comprises non-segmented, negative-stranded RNA viruses able to infect humans, mammals, reptiles and various birds. Parrot bornavirus 1 to 8(PaBV-1 to 8) causes neurological and/or gastrointestinal syndromes and death

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.

Genome-wide identification of CBX2 targets: insights in the human sex development network [PDF]
CBX2 (Chromobox homolog 2) is a chromatin modifier that plays an important role in sexual development and its disorders (disorders of sex development, DSD), yet the exact rank and function of human CBX2 in this pathway remains unclear. Here, we performed

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 ...

Low prevalence of Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) IgG antibodies in humans from areas endemic for animal Borna disease of Southern Germany [PDF]
Borna disease virus-1 (BoDV-1) was recently discovered as cause of severe and often fatal encephalitis in humans. BoDV-1 is known to cause neurological disease in horses and sheep mainly in South and Central Germany.

A study on the chemical and physical inactivation of Avian bornavirus [PDF]
Avian bornavirus (ABV) is the etiological agent of Proventricular Dilatation Disease, a fatal neurological disease of pet and aviary kept Psittacine birds (parrots). ABV is believed to be transmitted through the fecal-oral route.

Avian bornavirus infection in waterfowl
Avian bornavirus (ABV) is a newly recognized cause of neurological disease and mortality in free-ranging geese and swans in Ontario. To determine the correlation between clinical signs, pathological lesions and presence of ABV in tissues of wild waterfowl, 955 pathology cases from Canada geese (Branta canadensis), trumpeter swans (Cygnus buccinator ...

Detection of a new avian bornavirus in barn owl (Tyto alba) by pan-viral microarray
A barn owl (Tyto alba) died with neurological signs compatible with a viral infection. After discarding other possible infections caused by circulating viruses in the area, analysis of the central nervous system using a pan-viral microarray revealed hybridization to canary bornavirus 2 (CnBV-2).
