Incidence and detection of beak and feather disease virus in psittacine birds in the UAE. [PDF]

Biomol Detect Quantif, 2016
Beak and feather disease is caused by Circovirus, which affects actively growing beak and feather cells of avian species. The disease affects mainly young birds while older birds may overcome the disease with few lasting effects. Due to lack of treatment, the only way to control the disease is through hygiene and early diagnosis.
