Beak and feather disease virus: biology and resultant disease [PDF]

, 2020
The beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) causes psittacine beak and feather disease, an often chronic and fatal disease in psittacine birds. The virus most commonly infects psittacine birds, but is also capable of infecting non-psittacine bird species ...

The phenotypic costs of captivity

Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 434-449, April 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT The breeding of threatened species in captivity for release is a central tool in conservation biology. Given gloomy predictions for biodiversity trends in the Anthropocene, captive breeding will play an increasingly important role in preventing future extinctions. Relative to the wild, captive environments drastically alter selection pressures

Ability to detect antibodies to beak and feather disease virus in blood on filter paper decreases with duration of storage [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Background Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is a circovirus that infects captive and wild psittacine birds, and is of conservation concern. The haemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay is used to determine antibody titres against BFDV, and the use of

Feral ecologies: the making of postcolonial nature in London

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 896-919, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Through an ethnography of parakeets and other denizens in London, this article expounds the concept of the feral and foregrounds its purchase for an anthropological inquiry into urban life. Ecological, cultural, and political connotations of ferality impinge upon evaluations of what counts and is allowed to flourish as metropolitan nature ...

Emerging and well‐characterized chlamydial infections detected in a wide range of wild Australian birds

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e3154-e3170, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Birds can act as successful long‐distance vectors and reservoirs for numerous zoonotic bacterial, parasitic and viral pathogens, which can be a concern given the interconnectedness of animal, human and environmental health. Examples of such avian pathogens are members of the genus Chlamydia. Presently, there is a lack of research investigating

Phylodynamic and phylogeographic reconstruction of beak and feather disease virus epidemiology and its implications for the international exotic bird trade

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 5, Page e2677-e2687, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) infects domestic and wild psittacine species and is able to cause progressive beak, claw and feather malformation and necrosis. In addition to having an impact on the health and welfare of domesticated birds, BFDV represents a significant threat to wild endangered species.

Detailed monitoring of a small but recovering population reveals sublethal effects of disease and unexpected interactions with supplemental feeding [PDF]

, 2015
Infectious diseases are widely recognized to have substantial impact on wildlife populations. These impacts are sometimes exacerbated in small endangered populations, and therefore, the success of conservation reintroductions to aid the recovery of such ...
