| seroprevalence of psittacine beak and feather disease in wild psittacine birds in new south wales. | a haemagglutination inhibition assay was used to detect antibody to psittacine beak and feather disease virus in sera from wild sulphur crested cockatoos (cacatua galerita), galahs (eolophus roseicapillus), short-billed corellas (cacatua sanguinea), eastern long-billed corellas (cacatua tenuirostris) and other psittacine birds in new south wales. the seroprevalence of psittacine beak and feather disease ranged from 41% to 94% in different flocks, indicating infection with the virus is widespread ... | 1993 | 8494522 |
| disease surveillance in wild victorian cacatuids reveals co-infection with multiple agents and detection of novel avian viruses. | wild birds are known reservoirs of bacterial and viral pathogens, some of which have zoonotic potential. this poses a risk to both avian and human health, since spillover into domestic bird populations may occur. in victoria, wild-caught cockatoos trapped under licence routinely enter commercial trade. the circovirus beak and feather disease virus (bfdv), herpesviruses, adenoviruses and chlamydia psittaci have been identified as significant pathogens of parrots globally, with impacts on both avi ... | 2019 | 31383310 |
