Circovirus infection in Croatian population of Eurasian griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Circoviruses cause diseases in a wide range of hosts, including avian species. One of the most studied circoviruses is beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), which has spread worldwide due to global trade of birds and characteristics of the virus that ...

Opportunistic sampling from the near-threatened Alexandrine parakeet uncovers genomes of a novel parvovirus and beak and feather disease virus. [PDF]

Aust Vet J
Birds are known to harbour a wide range of pathogenic viruses, including the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV; species, Circovirus parrot), which poses a significant threat to the conservation of endangered avian species. This study reports the genomic identification and characterisation of a novel psittaciform chaphamaparvovirus (PsChPV‐6) and ...

Phylodynamic and phylogeographic reconstruction of beak and feather disease virus epidemiology and its implications for the international exotic bird trade. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2022
Abstract Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) infects domestic and wild psittacine species and is able to cause progressive beak, claw and feather malformation and necrosis. In addition to having an impact on the health and welfare of domesticated birds, BFDV represents a significant threat to wild endangered species.

Variation in Plumage Coloration of Rosy-Faced Lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis): Links to Sex, Age, Nutritional Condition, Viral Infection, and Habitat Urbanization. [PDF]

J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr Physiol
Lovebird adults had redder faces than juveniles, and birds with brighter faces had lower glucose levels and were less likely to have polyomavirus. Male lovebirds had bluer rumps than females. Lovebirds caught farther from the city had redder and darker feathers than those caught closer to the urban center.

Ability to detect antibodies to beak and feather disease virus in blood on filter paper decreases with duration of storage [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Background Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a circovirus that infects captive and wild psittacine birds, and is of conservation concern. The haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay is used to determine antibody titres against BFDV, and the use of
