Key result
An epizootic of infectious bill atrophy syndrome in ducklings was identified as a co-outbreak of duck parvovirus and duck viral hepatitis, reproducible by parvovirus inoculation alone.

Reproduces bill atrophy syndrome via parvovirus alone in ducklings; leaves open the role of co-infecting hepatitis virus in natural epizootics.
Lu et al. (1993) studied Infectious Bill Atrophy Syndrome and Duck Viral Hepatitis (n=500). Duck parvovirus and duck viral hepatitis virus infection was evaluated on Viral isolation and disease reproduction. An epizootic of infectious bill atrophy syndrome in ducklings was identified as a co-outbreak of duck parvovirus and duck viral hepatitis, reproducible by parvovirus inoculation alone.
