Pacheco's Disease in Psittacine Birds

Avian Diseases, 1984
Pacheco's disease, caused by a herpesvirus, was diagnosed in 20 groups of 47 psittacine birds received for necropsy. A tentative diagnosis, based on history and gross lesions, was confirmed by one or more of the following observations: Cowdry type A inclusions in the hepatocytes and cells of other affected tissues, pathogenicity of tissue suspensions ...

Analysis of Exhaled Breath Condensate in a Mixed Population of Psittacine Birds

, 2010
Collection of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) and the measurement of inflammatory markers contained therein (eg, hydrogen peroxide H2O2, leukotriene B4 LTB4, and pH) have been reported as noninvasive tools for the investigation of respiratory disease in ...

Bacterial septicemias in two psittacine birds

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1985
Pasteurellosis was diagnosed in a red-fronted conure (Aratinga wagleri) that had been bitten on its breast by a cat 2 weeks before death. 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 ...

Veterinary Record, 1977
Of 117 imported psittacine birds examined for the presence of blood parasites, 18 (15-3 per cent) were found to be infected. The most common parasites were microfilaria and Haemoproteus, but Aegyptianella and a Trypanosoma sp were also observed.

Galactomannan Assay and Plasma Protein Electrophoresis Findings in Psittacine Birds With Aspergillosis

, 2009
In psittacine birds, the antemortem diagnosis of aspergillosis is usually based on the clinical signalment combined with the results of diagnostic tests such as radiography, routine hematologic and biochemical analysis, and biopsy.

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 ...
