Surveillance of Parrot Bornavirus in Taiwan Captive Psittaciformes [PDF]
VirusesParrot bornavirus (PaBV) is an infectious disease linked with proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) with severe digestive and neurological symptoms affecting psittacine birds. Despite its detection in 2008, PaBV prevalence in Taiwan remains unexplored.

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.

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

Complete genome sequence of avian bornavirus genotype 1 from a Macaw with proventricular dilatation disease. [PDF]
J Virol, 2012 ABSTRACT Avian bornaviruses (ABV) were first detected and described in 2008. They are the etiologic agents of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), a frequently fatal neurologic disease of captive parrots. Seven ABV genogroups have been identified worldwide from a variety of sources, and that number may increase as surveillance for novel ...

Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract, 2010 Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a common infectious neurologic disease of birds comprising a dilatation of the proventriculus by ingested food as a result of defects in intestinal motility, which affects more than 50 species of psittacines, and is also known as Macaw wasting disease, neuropathic ganglioneuritis, or lymphoplasmacytic ...
