Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is an incurable probably viral disease of psittacine birds. It was first recognized and described in 1978 by Dr. Hannis L. Stoddard. Since the first reported cases were involving species of macaw, the condition was termed macaw wasting syndrom
These birds were carefully monitored over extended periods, well exceeding the documented 90-day inoculation period for PDD, yet failed to show any signs of PDD. [8] However, the differences in responses to the experimental infections may be associated to ABV strain variation in pathogenicity, the chronic nature of the infection and the ...
Bird flu is a scary illness with a high mortality rate. But so far, infections in the U.S. have been relatively mild—until now. A patient in Louisiana has been hospitalized with a severe case of ...
Symptoms in dogs include acute arthritis, anorexia and lethargy. There is no rash as is typically seen in humans. [11] Ehrlichiosis is a disease caused by Ehrlichia canis and spread by the brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Signs include fever, vasculitis, and low blood counts. [6]
The virus has sickened 55 people in the U.S.
At least 61 people in the US have contracted bird flu amid outbreaks in poultry and dairy cows. What are the symptoms? What to know about highly pathogenic avian influenza, aka, H5N1.
Psittacine beak and feather disease was first described in the early 1980s and has become recognised as the dominant viral pathogen of psittacine birds worldwide. In wild red-rumped grass parakeets (Psephotus haematonotus), a case of feather loss syndrome that was highly suggestive of PBFD was first recorded in South Australia in 1907. [2]
Borna disease, also known as sad horse disease, [1] is an infectious neurological syndrome [2] of warm-blooded animals, caused by Borna disease viruses 1 and 2 (BoDV-1/2). BoDV-1/2 are neurotropic viruses of the species Mammalian 1 orthobornavirus, and members of the Bornaviridae family within the Mononegavirales order.
