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

Avian Paramyxovirus Serotype‐1: A Review of Disease Distribution, Clinical Symptoms, and Laboratory Diagnostics

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Avian paramyxovirus serotype‐1 (APMV‐1) is capable of infecting a wide range of avian species leading to a broad range of clinical symptoms. Ease of transmission has allowed the virus to spread worldwide with varying degrees of virulence depending on the virus strain and host species. Classification systems have been designed to group isolates based on

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.

The widespread keeping of wild pets in the Neotropics: An overlooked risk for human, livestock and wildlife health

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 1023-1035, June 2024.
Abstract Zoonoses constitute a major risk to human health. Comprehensive assessments on the potential emergence of novel disease outbreaks are essential to ensure the effectiveness of sanitary controls and to establish mitigating actions. Through a continental‐scale survey of rural human settlements conducted over 13 years in 15 Neotropical countries ...

A record of the parasitic mite Hemimyialges macdonaldi (Evans et al. 1963) (Acari: Epidermoptidae) in the Orange‐bellied Parrot Neophema chrysogaster (Latham, 1790) (Psittaciformes: Psittaculidae) in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 3, Page 96-100, March 2024.
The subcutaneous parasitic mite Hemimyialges macdonaldi was found in a specimen of the Orange‐bellied Parrot Neophema chrysogaster that died in captivity. A review of the host range and geographic distribution of this mite shows it is cosmopolitan and occurs in a very wide range of birds. It does not appear to be a cause of significant mortality in its

A concurrent outbreak of psittacine beak and feather disease virus, and avian polyomavirus infection in budgerigars(Melopsittacus undulatus) [PDF]

Avian Pathology, 1998
A dual natural infection with psittacine beak and feather disease virus and budgerigar fledgling disease virus in a breeding aviary of budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) is described. One-hundred per cent of newly-hatched birds were affected and mortality was high (85%). Most surviving birds had diarrhoea, feather alterations and 30% mortality after

Faecal Virome Analysis of Wild Animals from Brazil

Viruses, 2019
The Brazilian Cerrado fauna shows very wide diversity and can be a potential viral reservoir. Therefore, the animal’s susceptibility to some virus can serve as early warning signs of potential human virus diseases.
