“Boid inclusion body disease”: het enigma ontrafeld?
Vlaams Diergeneeskundig Tijdschrift, 2019 “Boid inclusion body disease” (BIBD) is een wereldwijd voorkomende aandoening bij boa’s en pythons. De exacte oorzaak van de aandoening bleef gedurende lange tijd onopgehelderd. Recent werd met behulp van hedendaagse diagnostische methoden en experimentele studies overtuigend bewijs geleverd dat reptarenavirussen het oorzakelijk agens zijn van BIBD. In

A Disease Resembling Inclusion Body Disease of Boid Snakes in Captive Palm Vipers (Bothriechis Marchi) [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 2001 Between April 1998 and June 1999, 8 palm vipers ( Bothriechis marchi) were diagnosed with a disease similar to inclusion body disease (IBD) of boids. Six palm vipers were captive bred, and 2 were wild caught. All of the vipers were adults at the time of death.
