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 ...

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

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

Turkey adenovirus 3 (TAdV-3) is the causative agent of an immune-mediated disease in turkeys, haemorrhagic enteritis, through targeting B lymphocytes. In the present study, we investigated the role of sialic acid in TAdV-3 entry and characterized the structural components of TAdV-3 receptor(s) on RP19, B lymphoblastoid cells.

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 and biliary proliferation.

A novel budgerigar-adenovirus belonging to group II avian adenovirus of Siadenovirus
Five budgerigars in the same breeding facility died or showed ruffled feathers. To determine the cause, five dead or euthanized budgerigars were examined. Splenomegaly was observed at necropsy in all birds examined. Histopathology of the spleen revealed a slight-to-moderate deletion of lymphocytes and increase of macrophages.

Crystal structure of raptor adenovirus 1 fibre head and role of the beta-hairpin in siadenovirus fibre head domains [PDF]
Most adenoviruses recognize their host cells via an interaction of their fibre head domains with a primary receptor. The structural framework of adenovirus fibre heads is conserved between the different adenovirus genera for which crystal structures have been determined (Mastadenovirus, Aviadenovirus, Atadenovirus and Siadenovirus), but genus-specific ...

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.

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 of 23 genes and open reading frames (ORFs).

Adenovirus protein VII (pVII) plays a crucial role in the nuclear localization of genomic DNA following viral infection and contains nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences for the importin (IMP)-mediated nuclear import pathway. However, functional analysis of pVII in adenoviruses to date has failed to fully determine the underlying mechanisms ...
