| evaluation of polymerase chain reaction and dot blot hybridisation tests in the diagnosis of pigeon circovirus infections. | polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and dot blot hybridisation (dbh) tests for detecting pigeon circovirus (picv) dna were developed and evaluated using tissue samples obtained from diseased and clinically normal pigeons, which originated in belgium and northern ireland. when pcr product was visually detected, the limit of detection of the pcr test was 31 fg, while that of the dbh was 1.6p g. for evaluation purposes, the results of the pcr and dbh tests, performed with dnas extracted from samples of ... | 2002 | 12223158 |
| pathologic findings in racing pigeons (columba livia domestica) with "young bird sickness". | "young bird sickness" is a term used by racing pigeon fanciers to describe a condition that has occurred regularly in recent years and affects pigeons (columba livia domestica) in their first year of life. it is characterized by slow crop emptying, regurgitation, diarrhea, weight loss, poor performance, and occasionally death. little scientific information is known about this syndrome to differentiate it from other diseases that occur in young pigeons. in this study, 1 bird from each of 9 lofts ... | 2007 | 18069166 |
| isolation and characterisation of circoviruses from pigs with wasting syndromes in spain, denmark and northern ireland. | a porcine circovirus (pcv) was isolated from tissues of pigs with wasting syndromes from spain, denmark and n. ireland. the antigenic profiles of these viruses were determined by indirect immunofluorescence assays using polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies (mabs) prepared against previously isolated pcvs. a rapid and convenient pcr-based test was developed and used for the genotyping of these pcv isolates. these pcv isolates were found to be antigenically and genomically similar to prev ... | 1999 | 10227473 |

| temporal distribution of porcine circovirus 2 genogroups recovered from postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome affected and nonaffected farms in ireland and northern ireland. | porcine circovirus type 2 (pcv2) is now recognized as the essential infectious component of porcine postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (pmws). pmws was first recognized in high-status, specific pathogen-free pigs in canada in 1991 and is now an economically important disease that affects the swine industry around the world. recently, reports of genomic studies on pcv2 viruses indicated that 2 distinctive genogroups of pcv2 exist.4,10 this report involves the results of a study on the dis ... | 2007 | 17998555 |
