Beak and feather disease virus detected in the endangered Red Goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
We report the first detection and prevalence of Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) in Australia’s Red Goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus). This is a new host for this pervasive pathogen amongst a growing list of non-psittacine species including birds ...

Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) persists in tissues of asymptomatic wild Crimson Rosellas [PDF]

Communications Biology
Infectious diseases can drive populations and species to extinction. Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a circovirus of global conservation concern that can infect all Psittaciformes and some other species.

Virus-like particle (VLP)-based indirect ELISA (iELISA) for the detection of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) antibodies [PDF]

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) poses a significant threat to avian biodiversity and global aviculture. Reliable serodiagnostic tools are critical for assessing host immune status and guiding disease management. The haemagglutination inhibition (HI)
