Implication

Necropsy samples reveal viral infections in parrots over a decade, suggesting significant pathogen prevalence.

Key Points

  • To determine the prevalence of avian-bornavirus, circoviruses, and polyomaviruses in parrots in Poland from 2014 to 2024.
  • Analyzed samples from 210 necropsied parrots between 2014 and 2024
  • Utilized RT-PCR for detecting parrot bornavirus
  • Employed nested PCR for circoviruses and polyomaviruses analysis
  • Parrot bornavirus RNA found in 50 parrots (23.8%)
  • BFDV DNA detected in 59 parrots (28%)
  • APyV DNA identified in 65 parrots (31%)
  • 10.5% showed PDD-related lesions; only 36% with bornavirus had these lesions
