Metagenomic Detection of Multiple Viruses in Monk Parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus) in Australia [PDF]
Background Birds are known to harbour many pathogens, including circovirus, herpesviruses, adenoviruses and Chlamydia psittaci. Some of these pose zoonotic risks, while others, such as beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), have a significant impact on ...

Systemic Adenovirus Infection in Sulawesi Tortoises (Indotestudo Forsteni) Caused by a Novel Siadenovirus [PDF]
A novel siadenovirus was identified in the Sulawesi tortoise ( Indotestudo forsteni). A group of 105 Sulawesi tortoises was obtained by the Turtle Survival Alliance. Many of the tortoises were in poor health. Clinical signs included anorexia, lethargy, mucosal ulcerations and palatine erosions of the oral cavity, nasal and ocular discharge, and ...

Crystallization of the C-terminal head domain of the fibre protein from a siadenovirus, turkey adenovirus 3. [PDF]
Turkey adenovirus 3 belongs to the genus Siadenovirus. Its predicted fibre protein consists of an N-terminal virus-attachment domain, a central shaft domain and a head domain at the C-terminus. The head domain has little sequence identity to known adenovirus fibre head structures. Crystals of the fibre head domain consisting of amino acids 304-454 with

Novel siadenovirus infection in a cockatiel with chronic liver disease.
A 15-year-old female cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) undergoing long term management for hepatopathy died and underwent necropsy. Microscopic findings were consistent with chronic liver disease characterized by distorted hepatic architecture, fibrosis ...

A screening of wild bird samples enhances our knowledge about the biodiversity of avian adenoviruses. [PDF]
Wild birds are threatened by anthropic effects on a global scale, and their adenoviruses might contribute to their endangerment. Thus, it is important to reveal the real biodiversity of avian adenoviruses, as, unfortunately, this research topic is far ...

In vitro growth kinetics and gene expression analysis of the turkey adenovirus 3, a siadenovirus.
Turkey adenovirus 3 (TAdV-3) belongs to the genus Siadenovirus, family Adenoviridae. Previously, nucleotide sequencing and annotation of the Virginia avirulent strain (VAS) of TAdV-3 genome, isolated in our laboratory, indicated the presence of a total ...

A novel siadenovirus detected in the kidneys and liver of Gouldian finches (Erythura gouldiae).
A novel siadenovirus was found in six captive Gouldian finches (Erythrura gouldiae) in the United States and Hungary. Histopathological examination revealed inclusions in the kidney of the captive Gouldian finch in the United States, and virions morphologically consistent with adenoviruses were seen by electron microscopy.

Siadenovirus infection in two psittacine bird species
Consensus polymerase chain reaction was used to identify a novel adenovirus from two psittacine birds: a plum-headed parakeet (Psittacula cyanocephala) with lethargy, weight loss, and marked leukocytosis; and an umbrella cockatoo (Cacatua alba) with lethargy, weight loss, and feather abnormalities.

Virome of Australia’s most endangered parrot in captivity evidenced of harboring hitherto unknown viruses [PDF]
The detection of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) within endangered animal populations is increasing rapidly because of many factors, such as anthropogenic influences and climate change. Their impacts can be extensive and may further contribute to the
