A serologic survey for avian polyomavirus and Pacheco's disease virus in Australian cockatoos [PDF]
Sera collected from wild and captive Australian cockatoos and other psittacine species (n = 411) were tested for antibodies to avian polyomavirus (APV) and Pacheco's disease virus (PDV). Of 144 wild sulphur-crested cockatoos (Cacatua galerita) sampled at three regions in New South Wales (NSW) 96 (64.4%) birds had positive (>/= 1:32) neutralizing ...

Mycobacterium genavenseand avian polyomavirus co-infection in a European Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) [PDF]
Systemic mycobacteriosis associated with avian polyomavirus infection was diagnosed histologically in an 8-year-old, captive European goldfinch with a history of nervous signs. Severe mycobacterial lesions were observed in the central nervous system, lungs, cervical air sacs and adrenal glands, without involvement of the gastrointestinal tract.
