Infectious diseases can drive populations and species to extinction. Beak and feather
disease virus (BFDV) is a circovirus of global conservation concern that can infect all …

Many species are facing unprecedented population size declines and deterioration of their
environment. This exposes species to genomic erosion, which we define here as the …

Parrots (Psittaciformes), with about 400 species widely distributed across continents and
oceanic islands, stand out among birds for their poor conservation status [1]. According to …

The beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is one of the few pathogens capable of causing
extinction of psittacines. To determine the prevalence and the nature of BFDV mutation, this …

The beak and feather disease virus (family Circovirdae) is a virus of concern in the
conservation of wild Psittaciformes globally. We conducted a PCR screening for the beak …

Psittacine beak and feather disease virus (PBFDV) and budgerigar fledgling disease virus
(BFDV) are significant avian pathogens that threaten both captive and wild birds, particularly …

Beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) is one of the most life-threatening viral agents
infecting parrot species. In this study, we investigated fluctuation in the prevalence of beak …

The commercial farming and trading of parrots and ornamental birds as companion animals
are important economic activities in many countries. Some of the bird species farmed/traded …

We present a genome assembly from an individual male Alexandrinus eques, formerly
