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

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

Evidence for specificity of psittacine beak and feather disease viruses among avian hosts
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 ...

Polyomavirus Encephalopathy in a Ducorps Cockatoo (Cacatua Ducorpsii) with Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Diagnostic Investigation, 1996 Necropsy tissues were examined from an adult wild-caught Ducorps cockatoo (Cacatua ducorpsii) with progressive neurologic signs. Of the tissue specimens selected for histologic evaluation, only the brain contained rare amphophilic, glassy intranuclear inclusions within astrocytes and some neurons.

Opportunistic sampling from the near-threatened Alexandrine parakeet uncovers genomes of a novel parvovirus and beak and feather disease virus. [PDF]
Aust Vet JBirds are known to harbour a wide range of pathogenic viruses, including the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV; species, Circovirus parrot), which poses a significant threat to the conservation of endangered avian species. This study reports the genomic identification and characterisation of a novel psittaciform chaphamaparvovirus (PsChPV‐6) and ...
