The wound spread rapidly, involving the skin over the entire breast and the underlying musculature. Septicemia that followed dermatitis and myositis was the cause of death.

Blood Lipid Diagnostics in Psittacine Birds

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Exotic Animal Practice, 2022
Lipids are the main biomolecular constituents of plasma and occupy a central place in the pathophysiology of several common diseases of parrots. Dyslipidemias frequently occur in psittacine birds in relation to a variety of lipid accumulation disorders and female reproductive disorders. The five main lipid classes in the plasma are sterols, fatty acyls,

Pacheco's Parrot Disease of Psittacine Birds

Avian Diseases, 1977
Pacheco's parrot disease was identified as the cause of death of 3 psittacine birds at an aviary. Confirming a previous report, a herpesvirus was found to be the etiologic agent. The virus induced mortality in embryonated chicken eggs and budgerigars.

Isolation of orthoreoviruses from psittacine birds

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 1983
Orthoreoviridae were regularly isolated from imported psittacine birds in the absence of other pathogens or in combination with salmonella. These viruses grew in embryonated eggs, in chicken embryo fibroblasts and in hepatic cell cultures. The viral isolates were classified as orthoreoviridae on the basis of their morphological and physico-chemical ...

A Review of DNA Viral Infections in Psittacine Birds

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 2010
To date, several DNA viral infections have been reported in psittacine birds. Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is characterized by symmetric feather dystrophy and loss and development of beak deformities. PBFD is caused by beak and feather virus, which belongs to the Circoviridae, and is the most important infection in psittacine birds ...

Distribution of Malassezia organisms on the skin of unaffected psittacine birds and psittacine birds with feather-destructive behavior

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 2006
Abstract Objective—To ascertain whether Malassezia organisms can be detected via cytologic examination and fungal culture of samples from the skin surface of psittacine birds and determine whether the number of those organisms differs between unaffected psittacines and those that have chronic feather-destructive behavior or differs by body region ...
