Pathogenesis of Avian Bornavirus in Experimentally Infected Cockatiels
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2012 Avian bornavirus (ABV) is the presumed causative agent of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), a major fatal disease in psittacines. However, the influencing factors and pathogenesis of PDD are not known and natural ABV infection exhibits remarkable variability.

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing aids the diagnosis of viral infections in febrile returning travellers [PDF]
, 2019 Objectives Travel-associated infections are challenging to diagnose because of the broad spectrum of potential aetiologies. As a proof-of-principle study, we used MNGS to identify viral pathogens in clinical samples from returning travellers in a single
