Assessment of recombinant beak and feather disease virus capsid protein as a vaccine for psittacine beak and feather disease

Journal of General Virology, 2009
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a significant pathogen of wild Australasian and African psittacine birds. We assessed the immunogenicity of recombinant BFDV capsid (recBFDVcap) to protect against the development of psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD).

Detection of beak and feather disease virus DNA in embryonated eggs of psittacine birds

Veterinární Medicína, 2008
Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is a common viral disease of psittacine birds. The causative agent, beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a small circular single-stranded DNA virus belonging to the genus Circovirus.

Species and seasonality can affect recent trends in beak and feather disease virus prevalence in captive psittacine birds.

Acta Tropica, 2023
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is globally distributed in psittacine birds. BFDV is considered a key threat to biodiversity because it has the ability to transmit and shift between host species.

Beak and feather disease virus infection in cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 2008
Psittacine beak and feather disease is known to occur in a wide range of psittacine species; however, there are no scientific or credible anecdotal reports of psittacine beak and feather disease occurring in the cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) despite it being one of the world's most commonly kept companion bird species.

Towards inferring the global movement of beak and feather disease virus

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 ...

Structural insights into the assembly and regulation of distinct viral capsid complexes

Nature Communications, 2016
Circoviruses are the simplest viruses known to autonomously replicate in vertebrates. Here the authors present three structures for distinct macromolecular assemblies of the capsid protein from the beak and feather disease virus that provides insights ...

Psittacine beak and feather disease outbreak in captive rose-ringed parakeets (Psittacula krameri) in the State of Ceará, northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira
: Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) affects Psittaciformes worldwide. In Brazil, PBFD is an emerging disease that has threatened exotic and native Psittaciformes in captivity; however, reports in the country are still scarce.

Evidence of Unique Genotypes of Beak and Feather Disease Virus in Southern Africa [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2004
ABSTRACT Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), caused by Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), is the most significant infectious disease in psittacines. PBFD is thought to have originated in Australia but is now found worldwide; in Africa, it threatens the survival of the indigenous endangered Cape
