Mitochondrial markers (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and 16S ribosomal RNA) as supporting biomarkers for wild bird identification [PDF]
Veterinary WorldBackground and Aim: Illegal wildlife trafficking is a critical threat to biodiversity, particularly in megadiverse countries such as Colombia. Birds, notably psittacines, are among the most targeted taxa.

Mitochondrial Markers COI and 16S rRNA for the Molecular Identification of Parrots and Macaws Recovered From Illegal Trafficking in Three Areas of Colombia [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We molecularly characterized parrots (Amazona spp.) and macaws (Ara spp.) rescued from illegal trafficking in Colombia using two mitochondrial markers (COI and 16S rRNA). The COI gene showed high resolution for species identification and revealed considerable intraspecific diversity, while 16S rRNA displayed limited taxonomic resolution.

The complete mitochondrial genome of red-fronted parrot (Poicephalus gulielmi) revealed a new gene rearrangement within the order Psittaciformes [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017 Vertebrate mitogenomes are thought to be selected for compactness. Therefore, the increasing number of avian mitogenomes comprising duplicated regions is surprising.

Characterization of artificial intelligence performance for lesion detection using synthetic lesions in PET imaging [PDF]
Medical Physics, Volume 52, Issue 6, Page 3994-4007, June 2025.Abstract Background The use of artificial intelligence (AI) for lesion detection has witnessed increased interest and efforts in recent years. Meanwhile, task‐specific characterization and comparison of AI performance is lacking as supportive evidence prior to its implementation in the clinical setting.

Serological Surveillance and Risk Factor Analysis for Parrot Bornavirus in Taiwan [PDF]
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.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

Phylogeography of the white-crowned parrot (Pionus senilis)
Biota Neotropica, 2022 Abstract The white-crowned parrot Pionus senilis (von Spix, 1824) is distributed throughout Middle America, inhabiting the Gulf of Mexico coastal area from Tamaulipas (Mexico) to northern Panama. We used mitochondrial data (COI, ND2 and ND4) from 55 specimens to infer phylogenetic relationships, and analyzed the phylogeographic structure, genetic ...
