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.

Complete Genome Sequence of Beak and Feather Disease Virus Isolated from an African Grey Parrot in China in 2017. [PDF]
Genome Announc, 2018 The complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) was determined. The viral genome consists of 1,991 nt, including an 870-nt open reading frame 1 (ORF1), a 744-nt ORF2, a conserved stem-loop structure, and the second hairpin.

Clinical approach to small psittacines and passerines
In Practice, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 181-189, May 2026.Background: The most commonly encountered small avian species in clinical practice are psittacines, such as budgerigars, cockatiels and lovebirds, and passerines, such as finches and canaries. These birds are increasingly presented for veterinary treatment, with owners expecting a high standard of care.

Development of novel diagnostic and vaccine options for beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) [PDF]
, 2009 Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV) is a circovirus which causes ill-thrift, feather loss and immunosuppression leading to secondary infections and eventually death in psittacine birds.

A blocking ELISA for the detection of antibodies to psittacine beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) [PDF]
Journal of Virological Methods, 2009 Currently, the only diagnostic test available routinely for the sero-diagnosis of BFDV is the haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay. This test, whilst useful and applicable to samples from a wide range of psittacine birds, is not an ideal assay; it requires erythrocytes from live animals, virus purified from the feathers of infected birds and ...

Integumentary fibrosarcoma in a free‐living swan (Cygnus olor): Medical and welfare considerations
Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.Abstract A 10‐kg adult male mute swan (Cygnus olor) of unknown age was admitted for investigations of two large ventral masses overlying the keel bone, which were discharging purulent material. The masses measured 8.9 × 2.1 cm and 4.2 × 3.2 cm. Empirical treatment with non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs and antimicrobials was instigated.
