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)

Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) prevalence, load and excretion in seven species of wild caught common Australian parrots. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2020
Pathogens pose a major risk to wild host populations, especially in the face of ongoing biodiversity declines. Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) can affect most if not all members of one of the largest and most threatened bird orders world-wide, the ...

A non-invasive method to assess environmental contamination with avian pathogens: beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) detection in nest boxes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Indirect transmission of pathogens can pose major risks to wildlife, yet the presence and persistence of wildlife pathogens in the environment has been little studied. Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is of global conservation concern: it can infect

Application of Quantitative PCR (qPCR) for the Detection of Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease Virus (PBFDV) in Air Conditioning Systems: A Model Study from a Veterinary Hospital in Thailand [PDF]

Veterinary Sciences
Psittacine beak and feather disease virus (PBFDV), a member of the family Circoviridae, is a major pathogen affecting psittacine birds worldwide; however, its potential for airborne dissemination in veterinary environments remains poorly understood. This

Recombinant expression of beak and feather disease virus capsid protein and assembly of virus-like particles in Nicotiana benthamiana [PDF]

Virology Journal, 2017
Background Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is an important disease causing agent affecting psittacines. BFDV is highly infectious and can present as acute, chronic or subclinical disease.

Towards inferring the global movement of beak and feather disease virus [PDF]

Virology, 2014
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a circular single-stranded DNA virus that causes psittacine beak and feather disease. We analysed 184 publically available BFDV full genomes to infer both the approximate geographical origin of the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of these sequences and past BFDV long-range migrations using a Bayesian ...

Production and immunogenicity of a plant-produced beak and feather disease virus vaccine in Japanese quails. [PDF]

Arch Virol
Abstract Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), a single-stranded DNA virus, infects endangered psittacine species, including the South African Cape parrot. The disease is highly contagious and can be transmitted through contact with contaminated faeces, crop secretions, and feather and skin dander.

Molecular Epidemiology of Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV), Avian Polyomavirus (APV-1), Psittacid Herpesvirus 1 (PsHV-1), and Avian Metapneumovirus (aMPV) in Birds Kept as Non-Traditional Companion Animals (NTCAs) in Italy [PDF]

Animals
The non-traditional companion animal (NTCA) sector, particularly involving avian species, has significantly expanded in Italy, raising concerns over the spread of infectious diseases.

Genetic Diversity of Beak and Feather Disease Virus Detected in Psittacine Species in Australia

Virology, 2001
The complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of eight isolates of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) obtained from a range of psittacine species with psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) from throughout Australia were compared with the sequences of two BFDV isolates previously reported from Australia (BFDV-AUS) and America (BFDV-USA), respectively ...

Current situation of psittacine beak and feather disease virus in parrots [PDF]

Egyptian Journal of Animal Health
 As a highly contagious disease that affects both wild and captive psittacine populations, psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is caused by the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV).
