Overview

Investigation reveals prevalence and genotype distribution of parrot bornavirus in captive psittacine birds, suggesting implications for wild populations.

Key Points

  • Parrot bornavirus (PaBV) was detected in 13.85% of sampled birds, with a majority being asymptomatic.
  • Nested PCR results suggest that choanal swabs are most effective for detecting PaBV in captive birds.
  • Two variants of PaBV, PaBV-2 and PaBV-4, were identified, with PaBV-4 being the predominant strain.
  • Regular monitoring of both captive and wild psittacine populations is crucial to manage disease risks.
