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

A Novel DNA Virus Associated with Feather Inclusions in Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 1991 The nature of feather inclusions was characterized in 32 psittacine birds (30 cockatoos, one peachfaced lovebird ( Agapornis roseicollis), and one red-lored Amazon parrot ( Amazona autumnalis autumnalis)) with naturally-acquired psittacine beak and feather disease.

The phylogenetic and phylogeographic landscape of the beak and feather disease virus, 1996–2022
Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2023 The beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), causative agent of Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), is a highly fatal and widespread virus that infects both the wild and captive Psittaciformes around the world. The BFDV genome is a ssDNA of approximately 2 kb in size, making it among the smallest known pathogenic viruses.

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2020 This case reports an outbreak of psittacine beak and feather disease in imported budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) in a breeding site in Mexico. Feather abnormalities occurred in 3-month-old budgerigars and the percentage of affected birds was 40 of ...

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease Virus [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1992 Monoclonal antibodies specific for the virus that causes psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) were produced by fusing spleen cells from mice immunized with purified concentrated PBFD virus with mouse myeloma cell line Sp2/0. The resulting hybridomas were tested for reactivity against whole purified virus by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ...

Characterization of Beak and Feather Disease Virus Genomes from Wild Musk Lorikeets (Glossopsitta concinna). [PDF]
Genome Announc, 2016 Three complete genomes of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) were recovered from wild musk lorikeets (Glossopsitta concinna). The genomes consisted of 2,008 to 2,010 nucleotides (nt) and encode two major proteins transcribing in opposing directions ...
