Phylodynamic and phylogeographic reconstruction of beak and feather disease virus epidemiology and its implications for the international exotic bird trade. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis, 2022
Abstract Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) infects domestic and wild psittacine species and is able to cause progressive beak, claw and feather malformation and necrosis.

Serological Surveillance and Risk Factor Analysis for Parrot Bornavirus in Taiwan. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Parrots are traded globally and pose a substantial risk for disease transmission involving parrot‐specific pathogens. Parrot bornavirus (PaBV) belongs to the Bornaviridae family and encompasses two clades: alphapsittaciforme (PaBV‐1 to ‐4, PaBV‐7, and ‐8) and betapsittaciforme (PaBV‐5 and PaBV‐6). These clades cause proventricular dilatation disease, a
