The complete mitochondrial genome of red-fronted parrot (Poicephalus gulielmi) revealed a new gene rearrangement within the order Psittaciformes

open access: yesMitochondrial 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.

Chlamydophila psittaci Transmission from Pet Birds to Humans

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
We studied zoonotic transmission of Chlamydophila psittaci in 39 breeding facilities for Psittaciformes (cockatoos, parrots, parakeets, lories) that frequently used antimicrobial drugs.

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in Psittaciformes [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Pathology, 1999
A total of 103 Escherichia coli isolates from psittaciform birds were examined for the presence of genes coding for shigatoxin 1 (Stx1), shigatoxin 2 (Stx2) and for intimin (eae), using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Sixty-eight E. coli strains were isolated from necropsy cases and faecal samples, the other 35 were from 205 cloacal swabs from ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of bronze-winged parrot (Pionus chalcopterus chalcopterus, Psittaciformes)

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Medium-sized neotropical parrots from Pionus genus are represented by at least eight species. However, their taxonomy should be revised because some external morphological characters together with genetic data recognize 19 taxa.

Chromosomal similarity between the Scaly-headed parrot (Pionus maximiliani), the Short-tailed parrot (Graydidascalus brachyurus) and the Yellow-faced parrot (Salvatoria xanthops) (Psittaciformes: Aves): a cytotaxonomic analysis

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2004
Behavior, morphology, allozyme studies and DNA hybridization and sequencing data all suggest the independent evolution of the Old and New World parrots and support tribe status for the American species, although the phylogenetic relationships within this

Microsatellite typing of avian clinical and environmental isolates of Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Aspergillosis is one of the most common causes of death in captive birds. Aspergillosis in birds is mainly caused by Aspergillus fumigatus, a ubiquitous and opportunistic saprophyte.

Plasma chemistry references values in psittaciformes [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Pathology, 1990
Reference values for 17 plasma chemical variables in African greys. Amazons, cockatoos and macaws were established for use in avian clinical practice. The inner limits are given for the percentiles P(2.5) and P(97.5) with a probability of 90%. The following variables were studied: urea, creatinine, uric acid, urea/uric acid ratio, osmolality, sodium ...

Host-Parasite Relationships of Quill Mites (Syringophilidae) and Parrots (Psittaciformes)

open access: yesDiversity, 2022
The family Syringophilidae (Acari: Prostigmata) includes obligatory ectoparasites, which occupy feather quills from various parts of avian plumage, where they feed and reproduce.

Classification of bird species from video using appearance and motion features [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The monitoring of bird populations can provide important information on the state of sensitive ecosystems; however, the manual collection of reliable population data is labour-intensive, time-consuming, and potentially error prone.
