molecular characterization of a beak and feather disease virus genome from a purple crowned lorikeet (glossopsitta porphyrocephala).

the complete genome sequence of beak and feather disease virus (bfdv) from a purple crowned lorikeet (glossopsitta porphyrocephala) was characterized. the genome consists of 2,010 nucleotides and encodes replicase-associated protein and capsid protein. this is the first evidence of bfdv infectivity and complete genome sequence for this novel host.
