Virological evaluation of avian influenza virus persistence in natural and anthropic ecosystems of Western Siberia (Novosibirsk Region, summer 2012). [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Wild aquatic birds, reservoir of low-pathogenicity (LP) avian influenza viruses (AIVs), congregate in huge numbers in Western Siberia wetlands, where major intra- and inter-continental bird flyways overlap. In 2005 and 2006, highly pathogenic (

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

Orthomyxo-, paramyxo- and flavivirus infections in wild waterfowl in Finland [PDF]
Background Screening wild birds for viral pathogens has become increasingly important. We tested a screening approach based on blood and cloacal and tracheal swabs collected by hunters to study the prevalence of influenza A, paramyxo-, flavi-, and ...

Detecting Campylobacter coli in young chicks using two different cloacal swab techniques
SUMMARY It is important to determine whether valuable broiler-breeder chicks are contaminated with Campylobacter. It is important to have a non-destructive method to determine whether microorganisms such as Campylobacter are present without sacrificing the animal.

The introduction of invasive birds into new ecosystems frequently has negative consequences for the resident populations. Accordingly, the increasing population of monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus) in Europe may pose a threat because we have little knowledge of the viruses they can transmit to native naïve species.
