Sequencing of pigeon circovirus and the first report of identification of beak and feather disease virus in clinical specimens of domestic pigeons. [PDF]
An internationally recognized syndrome that leads to deaths among domestic and ornamental pigeons, particularly after racing, is young pigeon disease syndrome (YPDS). Pigeon circovirus (PiCV) is regarded as one of the potential factors contributing to the occurrence of YPDS.

Molecular Diagnosis of Beak and Feather Disease in Native Brazilian Psittacines
The incidence of the psittacine beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) was investigated in Brazilian native parrots with normal feathering arriving at rescue and triage centers for wild animals (CETAS, IBAMA) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. BFDV DNA

Mutability dynamics of an emergent single stranded DNA virus in a naïve host.
Quasispecies variants and recombination were studied longitudinally in an emergent outbreak of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) infection in the orange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster). Detailed health monitoring and the small population size (

Development of novel diagnostic and vaccine options for beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) [PDF]
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.

Studies of beak and feather disease virus infection [PDF]
The circovirus Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) causes psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) that is characterised by a chronic disease process associated with feather abnormalities, beak deformities and eventual death in various species of ...

Temporal Loss of Genome‐Wide and Immunogenetic Diversity in a Near‐Extinct Parrot
ABSTRACT Loss of genetic diversity threatens a species' adaptive potential and long‐term resilience. Predicted to be extinct by 2038, the orange‐bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster) is a critically endangered migratory bird threatened by numerous viral, bacterial and fungal diseases.

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

Background and Aims Circovirus parrot and Gammapolyomavirus avis are two clinically important viruses affecting psittacine birds. Although several studies have investigated their genomic variability, pathogenesis and associated pathological features individually, understanding of the effects and pathogenesis of Circovirus parrot and Gammapolyomavirus ...
