Internal and external parasitic infections in captive psittacine birds

, 2014
Parakeets and parrots can be infected by several parasitic species that may be either primary or opportunistic pathogens and may be responsible for mild or severe clinical forms of disease (Greiner and Ritchie 1994, Doneley 2009).

Evaluation of Intraosseous Excretory Urography Using Iodixanol for Renal Imaging in Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus)

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study demonstrates that intraosseous injection of iodixanol into the proximal tibiotarsal bone provides a reliable, safe, and practical method for diagnostic excretory urography in budgerigars. The technique offers clear visualisation of renal structures and can be an alternative when intravenous access is limited in avian patients.

Factors impacting the complexity of the leporid intracranial joint

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 28-39, January 2026.
Anatomy of the intracranial joint and the 2D semi‐landmarks used to capture complexity in the intracranial joint. (a) The intracranial joint can be seen here (in red) between the parietal and occipital dorsally and the basioccipital and basisphenoid ventrally. In hares (as in this figure) the interparietals are fused to obliteration.

Risk factors associated with Chlamydia psittaci infections in psittacine birds

, 2014
Chlamydia psittaci is the etiological agent of chlamydiosis in birds, especially psittaciformes. The objective of the present study was to detect C. psittaci by means of semi-nested PCR (snPCR) among psittacine birds sold in pet markets and kept as pet ...

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.
