Use of Avian Bornavirus Isolates to Induce Proventricular Dilatation Disease in Conures [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2010 Avian bornavirus (ABV) is a newly discovered member of the family Bornaviridae that has been associated with the development of a lethal neurologic syndrome in birds, termed proventricular dilatation disease (PDD).
