Immunogenicity of DNA, mRNA and Subunit Vaccines Against Beak and Feather Disease Virus [PDF]

Vaccines
Background/Objectives: Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is the causative agent of psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD), affecting psittacine birds. There is currently no commercial vaccine or treatment for this disease.

Circovirus infection in Croatian population of Eurasian griffon vultures (Gyps fulvus) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Circoviruses cause diseases in a wide range of hosts, including avian species. One of the most studied circoviruses is beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), which has spread worldwide due to global trade of birds and characteristics of the virus that ...

Viral Diagnosis in Psittacine Birds: A Scientometric and Systematic Review of 47 Years [PDF]

Animals
The first reports of viruses in psittacine birds date back to the early 1970s. Here, we elucidate the differences among these previous studies and the advances achieved.

Not an infection: Endogenous circoviral elements underlie BFDV detections in Old World vultures. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Circoviruses (family Circoviridae) are small, single-stranded DNA viruses known to infect a broad range of bird species. The Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV), typically associated with parrots, has occasionally been reported in unrelated avian taxa,

Molecular Epidemiology of Beak and Feather Disease Virus (BFDV), Avian Polyomavirus (APV-1), Psittacid Herpesvirus 1 (PsHV-1), and Avian Metapneumovirus (aMPV) in Birds Kept as Non-Traditional Companion Animals (NTCAs) in Italy [PDF]

Animals
The non-traditional companion animal (NTCA) sector, particularly involving avian species, has significantly expanded in Italy, raising concerns over the spread of infectious diseases.

Virus-like particle (VLP)-based indirect ELISA (iELISA) for the detection of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) antibodies [PDF]

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) poses a significant threat to avian biodiversity and global aviculture. Reliable serodiagnostic tools are critical for assessing host immune status and guiding disease management. The haemagglutination inhibition (HI)

Beak and feather disease virus detected in the endangered Red Goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus) [PDF]

Scientific Reports
We report the first detection and prevalence of Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) in Australia’s Red Goshawk (Erythrotriorchis radiatus). This is a new host for this pervasive pathogen amongst a growing list of non-psittacine species including birds ...

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease Virus [PDF]

Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1992
Monoclonal antibodies specific for the virus that causes psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) were produced by fusing spleen cells from mice immunized with purified concentrated PBFD virus with mouse myeloma cell line Sp2/0. The resulting hybridomas were tested for reactivity against whole purified virus by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ...

Evidence for specificity of psittacine beak and feather disease viruses among avian hosts [PDF]

Virology, 2003
Beak and feather disease is a major avian disease of both captive and wild parrot and cockatoo populations. Clinical signs include beak elongation and abnormal growth, together with weight loss and in some individuals the disease is fatal. We investigated the relationship between viral genotypes and their hosts in order to test for a positive ...
