• Abstract

  Parrot bornaviruses (PaBVs) are enveloped, non-segmented, negative sense, single-stranded RNA viruses and the causative agents of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), a lethal disease of captive psittacine birds worldwide. Neurotropism is a remarkable feature of PDD, which is reflected as a lymphoplasmacytic meningoencephalomyelitis and ganglioneuritis, particularly prominent in the e…

  Investigation of parrot bornaviruses (PaBVs) and proventricular dilation disease (PDD) in psittacine birds in Brazil, BP.PD

• Abstract

  Brazil is the country with the greatest diversity of psittacine birds, which are among the most threatened avian species in the country. Red-tailed Amazon parrot (Amazona brasiliensis), red-spectacled Amazon parrot (Amazona pretrei) and vinaceous Amazon parrot (Amazona vinacea) populations are considered threatened. The blue-fronted Amazon parrot (Amazona aestiva) is in the least concern …

  OCURRENCE OF INFECTIOUS AGENTS IN WILD AND NEWLY SEIZED FROM ILLEGAL TRADE AMAZON PARROTS: IMPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION, BP.DR

• Abstract

  Nowadays zoonoses comprises the majority of the emerging infectious diseases, which occurrence varies according to biological, environmental and socio-economic and cultural factors. Regarding the cultural factors, the maintenance of companion animals in Brazil is increasing significantly. It is noteworthy that the popularity of wild bird's species is also growing. These animals may have a…

• Abstract

  The conservation of global biodiversity is threatened by infectious diseases. The captive breeding population of the orange-bellied parrot (Neophema chrysogaster) is endemically infected by the Psittacid Adenovirus 2 (PsAdv-2) in Australia and its impact on this critically endangered psittacine species in not known. Recently it has been shown that PsAdv-2 is also present in at least one a…

  Investigation into the diversity and distribution of adenoviruses in wild and cage birds in Australia, BE.EP.DR

• Abstract

  Chlamydiae are Gram-negative, obligatory intracellular bacteria and have a broad host spectrum. These microorganisms infect many mammalian, avian species and wild and domestic animals, as well as human beings. The impact of chlamydial infections on human and animal health places these obligate intracellular microorganisms among the most significant zoonotic bacterial agents. Regarding the…
