Polyomavirus Infection in Two Young Parrots: Assessment of Viral Distribution in Organs and Affected Tissues. [PDF]
Avian polyomavirus (APyV) is responsible for diseases in birds belonging to several avian orders, including Psittaciformes, Anseriformes, and other susceptible taxa. APyVs appear to be able to replicate in various organs of susceptible bird species.

The Role of Two Tyrosinase-Like Glycoenzymes in Defining the Final Hue of Parrot Plumage. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Recent advances in avian melanogenesis have pinpointed multiple genetic loci associated with color polymorphisms, predominantly in the plumage of chickens, quails, and pigeons. However, the genetic basis of melaninization in parrot plumage remains elusive.
