Psittacine beak and feather disease : vaccination, haematological response and pcr methodology [PDF]

, 2010
To enable assessment of recombinant BFDV capsid protein (recBFDVcap) for vaccination to protect against PBFD, commercially available lovebirds (Agapornis sp.) were tested for evidence of past and current BFDV infection using PCR, HI and HA to identify ...

Identification of Beak and Feather Disease Virus in an Unusual Novel Host (Merops ornatus) Using Nested PCR. [PDF]

Genome Announc, 2016
The complete genome sequence of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) was discovered from a rainbow bee-eater (Merops ornatus), a species of Coraciiformes. The genome consisted of 1,996 bp encoding two major bidirectional transcribed open reading frames.

Climate Change Projected to Double the Richness and Abundance of Soilborne Phytopathogenic Fungi in Southern Maritime Antarctica

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
We sequenced fungal DNA in barren soils sampled from 12 sites along a 1900‐km transect through sub‐ and Maritime Antarctica and Patagonia. Using LASSO regression, we found air temperature ‐ and notably mean annual air temperature (BIO1) ‐ to be a highly significant predictor for the richness and relative abundance of soilborne plant pathogens.

Susceptibility of Gecko Cell Line for Cultivation and Adaptation of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus as an Experimental Vaccine

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
First successful cultivation of IBDV on reptile‐derived Z1 cells yields high‐titre virus and induces immunity in chickens. This scalable, egg‐free platform offers a promising alternative for vaccine production, leveraging evolutionary kinship between reptiles and birds for next‐generation poultry disease control.

Molecular detection and analysis of beak and feather disease viruses in Iran

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
The beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is one of the few pathogens capable of causing extinction of psittacines. To determine the prevalence and the nature of BFDV mutation, this study investigated the presence of the BFDV among 1,095 individual birds

Welfare assessment of turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo gallopavo) on farm

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract This Scientific Opinion assesses the welfare of turkeys of all ages (Meleagris gallopavo gallopavo) on farm in relation to the type and condition of the litter, type and availability of enrichment (including covered veranda and outdoor range), space allowance, concentrations of ammonia and carbon dioxide, effective environmental temperature ...

Molecular Survey of Pathogens in Wild Amazon Parrot Nestlings: Implications for Conservation

Diversity, 2021
South America presents the greatest Psittacidae diversity in the world, but also has the highest numbers of threatened parrot species. Recently, exotic viruses have been detected in captive native psittacine birds in Brazil, however, their impacts on the

Poultry Farmer Training in Biosecurity and Production Within an Evaluation Framework in Bangladesh

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background In Bangladesh, farmers often initiate small‐ to medium‐scale poultry production ventures with minimal to no prior training, experience or formal qualifications. The poultry industry's rapid expansion poses a growing threat to human and animal health.

Global genetic diversity and geographical and host-species distribution of beak and feather disease virus isolates

, 2010
Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) has a broad host range and is widespread in wild and captive psittacine populations in Asia, Africa, the Americas, Europe and Australasia. Beak and feather disease circovirus (BFDV) is the causative agent.
