Incidence and detection of beak and feather disease virus in psittacine birds in the UAE [PDF]

Biomolecular Detection and Quantification, 2016
Beak and feather disease is caused by Circovirus, which affects actively growing beak and feather cells of avian species. The disease affects mainly young birds while older birds may overcome the disease with few lasting effects. Due to lack of treatment, the only way to control the disease is through hygiene and early diagnosis.

Genetic Diversity of Beak and Feather Disease Virus Detected in Psittacine Species in Australia [PDF]

Virology, 2001
The complete nucleotide (nt) sequence of eight isolates of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) obtained from a range of psittacine species with psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) from throughout Australia were compared with the sequences of two BFDV isolates previously reported from Australia (BFDV-AUS) and America (BFDV-USA), respectively ...

Extracutaneous Viral Inclusions in Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1990
Thirty-five birds that died with naturally acquired psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) were necropsied to identify extracutaneous viral inclusions. Inclusions were found in various tissue sections from 34 of 35 birds. By immunoperoxidase staining, intranuclear and intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were shown to contain PBFD viral antigen ...

Assessment of recombinant beak and feather disease virus capsid protein as a vaccine for psittacine beak and feather disease

Journal of General Virology, 2009
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a significant pathogen of wild Australasian and African psittacine birds. We assessed the immunogenicity of recombinant BFDV capsid (recBFDVcap) to protect against the development of psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD).
