Detailed monitoring of a small but recovering population reveals sublethal effects of disease and unexpected interactions with supplemental feeding [PDF]
, 2015 Infectious diseases are widely recognized to have substantial impact on wildlife populations. These impacts are sometimes exacerbated in small endangered populations, and therefore, the success of conservation reintroductions to aid the recovery of such ...

Molecular Diagnosis of Beak and Feather Disease in Native Brazilian Psittacines
Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2015 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

Temporal Loss of Genome‐Wide and Immunogenetic Diversity in a Near‐Extinct Parrot
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 9, May 2025.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.
