Clinical approach to small psittacines and passerines

In Practice, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 181-189, May 2026.
Background: The most commonly encountered small avian species in clinical practice are psittacines, such as budgerigars, cockatiels and lovebirds, and passerines, such as finches and canaries. These birds are increasingly presented for veterinary treatment, with owners expecting a high standard of care.

Unveiling Novel Viral Diversity, Biogeography, and Host Networks in Wildlife Through High‐Throughput Sequencing Data Mining

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Analysis of 57 536 high‐throughput sequencing datasets uncovers a vast, hidden world of viruses in wildlife. The researchers reveal significant geographic and host‐specific patterns of viruses, and their surprising cross‐species transmissions, such as avian flu viruses infecting goats.

Psittacine beak and feather disease: ecology and implications for conservation

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 2017
ABSTRACTBeak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is the dominant pathogen of wild Psittaciformes in Australasia where it has been present for at least 10 million years. The richness of psittacine avifauna in this region has produced a mixture of potential hosts for the pathogen resulting in competing forces of virus co-evolution, spill-over infection and ...

Habitat Protection Alone Is Insufficient: Costa Rican Parrots Thrive in Altered Landscapes but Remain Vulnerable to Poaching

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Human population growth and resource overexploitation have induced major changes in global biodiversity. Costa Rica, with 26% of its land area protected, is often cited as a model of environmental conservation. However, conservation efforts have largely focused on habitat preservation, while overharvesting remains an unquantified factor in

Dual ATPase and GTPase activity of the replication-associated protein (Rep) of beak and feather disease virus

, 2018
Psittacine beak and feather disease affects parrots resulting in an immunosuppressive disease that is often characterized by an abnormal shape and growth of the animal's beak, feathers, and claws.

A blocking ELISA for the detection of antibodies to psittacine beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) [PDF]

Journal of Virological Methods, 2009
Currently, the only diagnostic test available routinely for the sero-diagnosis of BFDV is the haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) assay. This test, whilst useful and applicable to samples from a wide range of psittacine birds, is not an ideal assay; it requires erythrocytes from live animals, virus purified from the feathers of infected birds and ...

Psittacosis in Focus: A Review Addressing the Risks and Management Challenges in Outbreak Scenarios

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Psittacosis is a zoonotic disease that mostly affects birds and can infect people. It causes respiratory ailments that can be minor or severe. The disease's importance to public health is shown by the fact that it has been connected to isolated outbreaks in several parts of the world.

Variation in Plumage Coloration of Rosy‐Faced Lovebirds (Agapornis roseicollis): Links to Sex, Age, Nutritional Condition, Viral Infection, and Habitat Urbanization

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 343, Issue 1, Page 48-58, January 2025.
Lovebird adults had redder faces than juveniles, and birds with brighter faces had lower glucose levels and were less likely to have polyomavirus. Male lovebirds had bluer rumps than females. Lovebirds caught farther from the city had redder and darker feathers than those caught closer to the urban center.

Spontaneous Cloacal Prolapse in a Farm Ostrich (Struthio camelus): Case Management and Literature Review

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
A 10‐week‐old female ostrich was presented with a cloacal prolapse accompanied by decreased serum calcium. Surgical management with a temporary purse‐string suture, followed by postoperative care with vitamin–mineral supplementation including calcium, and nutritional adjustments led to an uneventful recovery.
