2022年2月18日 · We conducted a PCR screening for the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) using samples collected during previous field studies (1993–2014) in five populations of parrots of the Southern Hemisphere: Eclectus parrots (Eclectus roratus) and Crimson rosellas (Platycercus elegans) from Australia, Burrowing parrots (Cyanoliseus patagonus) and Monk p...

Ten out of 55 samples, from four different species, were tested positive for BFDVs in PCR (Melopsittacus undulates (4), Psittacula Krameri (3), Psittacus erithacus (2), Platycercus eximius (1)). Molecular identification of the detected BFDVs …

1999年8月16日 · A universal PCR assay was designed that consistently detected psittacine beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) in psittacine birds affected with psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) from different geographic regions across Australia.

PBFD diagnosis is made by skin biopsy, surgical biopsy of feather and shaft, or PCR testing of blood, swab, and feather samples. Testing for PBFD-specific antibodies can also reveal important information about a possible infection. PBFD should be considered in any bird suffering from abnormal feather loss or development.

2016年1月1日 · In 2009, we established a real-time Taqman PCR assay in our Laboratory, to detect psittacine beak and feather disease virus (circovirus). The assay is very sensitive, specific and reliable and can detect viral particles from as low as 3.5 fg of total DNA from the sample.

Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is one of the most significant viral diseases in psittacine birds. The aim of the presented study was to develop a highly specific and sensitive TaqMan real-time PCR assay for universal detection of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV).

PBFD is caused by beak and feather virus which is from the family Circoviridae. Infection with this virus causes chronic feather dystrophy and loss, beak deformities, occasionally immunosuppression and death. Death in chronic cases is often due to secondary infections associated with immunosuppression.

realtime PCR. Duration: 1 - 3 days. Remark: The PCR test Circovirus (PBFD) for Psittacidae does not detect circovirus infections of other groups of birds.

2017年6月1日 · Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is one of the most significant viral diseases in psittacine birds. The aim of the presented study was to develop a highly specific and sensitive TaqMan real-time PCR assay for universal detection of …

Psitticine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is a chronic disease characterized by feather dystrophy and loss, beak deformity and ultimately, death. It is caused by a non-enveloped icosahedral DNA virus belonging to the family Circoviridae. The disease has been reported in Australia, North America, Europe and Asia.
