Identification and Characterization of a Distinct Strain of Beak and Feather Disease Virus in Southeast China [PDF]
Virologica Sinica, 2020 Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is an infectious agent responsible for feather degeneration and beak deformation in birds. In March 2017, an epidemic of psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) struck a farm in Fuzhou in the Fujian Province of southeast China, resulting in the death of 51 parrots.

Genome Sequence of a Beak and Feather Disease Virus from an Unusual Novel Host, Australian Boobook Owl (Ninox boobook) [PDF]
Microbiol Resour Announc, 2022 The beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a pathogen of psittacine birds. BFDVs infecting nonpsittacine birds remain largely uncharacterized. We report the genome of a BFDV from a boobook owl (Ninox boobook), a nonpsittacine bird. The genome consisted

Ability to detect antibodies to beak and feather disease virus in blood on filter paper decreases with duration of storage [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Background Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a circovirus that infects captive and wild psittacine birds, and is of conservation concern. The haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay is used to determine antibody titres against BFDV, and the use of

Beak and feather disease virus variant-dependent antibody reactivity in naturally infected psittacine birds [PDF]
Virus ResHighlights • Diverse BFDV Cap genes result in antigenically diverse Cap proteins.• Sera from naturally infected parrots differed in reactivity to variant Cap proteins.• Single recombinant antigen did not capture serological responses of all sera.• These ...
