An atypical case of proventricular dilatation in a Red-and-green Macaw (Ara Chloropterus) [PDF]
A Red-and-green Macaw (Ara chloropterus) was presented with regurgitation and passage of undigested seeds in the feces. Radiographic examination revealed dilatation of the proventriculus.

Viral infections in critical care: a narrative review
Summary Viral infections form a substantial part of the intensive care workload, even before the recent and ongoing COVID‐19 pandemic. The growing availability of molecular diagnostics for viral infections has led to increased recognition of these pathogens. This additional information, however, provides new challenges for interpretation and management.

Screening red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) for possible viral causes of encephalitis [PDF]
Background: Next to various known infectious and non-infectious causes, the aetiology of non-suppurative encephalitis in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) often remains unclear.

Structural and biophysical characterization of the Borna disease virus 1 phosphoprotein
The phosphoprotein is an essential component of the replication complex in bornaviruses. Here, using X‐ray crystallography, the structure of the phosphoprotein from Borna disease virus 1 is presented and its flexibility in solution is characterized.Bornaviruses are RNA viruses with a mammalian, reptilian, and avian host range.

Homozygous CADPS2 Mutations Cause Neurodegenerative Disease with Lewy Body‐like Pathology in Parrots
Abstract Background Several genetic models that recapitulate neurodegenerative features of Parkinson's disease (PD) exist, which have been largely based on genes discovered in monogenic PD families. However, spontaneous genetic mutations have not been linked to the pathological hallmarks of PD in non‐human vertebrates. Objective To describe the genetic

Summary Artificial microRNA (amiRNA) technology has allowed researchers to direct efficient silencing of specific transcripts using as few as 21 nucleotides (nt). However, not all the artificially designed amiRNA constructs result in selection of the intended ~21‐nt guide strand amiRNA.

New World camelids are sentinels for the presence of Borna disease virus
Abstract Borna disease (BD), a frequently fatal neurologic disorder caused by Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV‐1), has been observed for decades in horses, sheep, and other mammals in certain regions of Europe. The bicoloured white‐toothed shrew (Crocidura leucodon) was identified as a persistently infected species involved in virus transmission.

Aviair bornavirus en kliermaagdilatatiesyndroom bij psittaciformen [PDF]
Aviair bornavirus (ABV) is het primaire etiologische agens dat het kliermaagdilatatiesyndroom (KDS) veroorzaakt bij psittaciformen. In tegenstelling tot wat oorspronkelijk over KDS verondersteld werd, blijkt ABV-infectie algemeen voor te komen bij psittaciformen en niet steeds aanleiding te geven tot klinische ziekte. In dit artikel wordt een overzicht
