Persistence of Psittacine Bornavirus-4 Viral RNA Is Temperature Dependent in Aqueous Environments and Material Dependent in Non-Aqueous Environments [PDF]
Veterinary SciencesPsittacine bornavirus type-4 (PaBV-4) causes proventricular dilatation disease and death among diverse birds, most notably caged parrots and related species, with no known cure or vaccine. Infected birds can shed virus in fecal matter, urine, and feather

Advanced diagnostic approaches and current management of proventricular dilatation disease. [PDF]
Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract, 2010 Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a fatal inflammatory disease that affects mainly, but not exclusively, psittacine birds (Order: Psittaciformes). PDD has long been suspected to be a viral disease, but its causative agent, a novel Bornavirus, was only identified in 2008.

Proventricular dilatation disease: an emerging exotic disease of parrots in Australia. [PDF]
Aust Vet J, 2007 Proventricular dilatation disease is a viral disease seen as a segmental neuropathy in parrots. It has always been believed to be a disease exotic to Australia, with the only reported case being a legally imported Green Wing Macaw (Ara chloroptera) in 1993. This paper reports a cluster of cases seen in south‐east Queensland in 2005 to 2006.
