A non-invasive method to assess environmental contamination with avian pathogens: beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) detection in nest boxes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Indirect transmission of pathogens can pose major risks to wildlife, yet the presence and persistence of wildlife pathogens in the environment has been little studied. Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is of global conservation concern: it can infect

Not an infection: Endogenous circoviral elements underlie BFDV detections in Old World vultures. [PDF]
PLoS ONECircoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, single-stranded DNA viruses known to infect a broad range of bird species. The Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV), typically associated with parrots, has occasionally been reported in unrelated avian taxa,

Metagenomic Detection of Multiple Viruses in Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in Australia [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine and ScienceBackground Birds are known to harbour many pathogens, including circovirus, herpesviruses, adenoviruses and Chlamydia psittaci. Some of these pose zoonotic risks, while others, such as beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), have a significant impact on ...

Detection of aves polyomavirus 1 (APyV) and beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) in exotic and native Brazilian Psittaciformes [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Microbiology, 2022 There are several viral diseases in captive birds. Aves polyomavirus 1 (APyV) and beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) are among the most important in Psittaciformes. The occurrence of these agents has been widely described in various parts of the world; however, little is known about these viruses in South America.

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2019 Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a globally distributed pathogen of psittacine birds. In Australia, it is thought to be the dominant pathogen of Psittaciformes, and it is listed as a ‘key threatening process to biodiversity’. Infection with BFDV can cause serious and often fatal disease.
