Pigeon circovirus (PEB107)

Pigeon circovirus (PEB107) Pigeon circovirus Specimen type Feathers, Blood Contents Pigeon circovirus (PiCV) is an infectious disease that mainly affects young pigeons between 1 and 4 months of age. Mortality is variable, but it can approach 100%. Pigeon circovirus infections have led to the loss of lymphoid tissue in immune system organs, and for this reason, PiCV is regarded as an immunosuppressive agent in pigeons.

Avian adenovirus (PEB107)

Avian adenovirus (PEB107) Avian adenovirus Specimen type Blood, Feces Contents Avian adenoviruses, part of the diverse Adenoviridae family, infect a wide range of bird species, often presenting with or without clinical symptoms.

Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) (PEB107)

Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) (PEB107) Avian Bornavirus/PDD Specimen type Feathers, Blood Contents Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD) is an incurable condition that impacts the stomach nerves in infected birds. This results in the stomach becoming enlarged and losing its ability to contract normally. PDD has been identified in over 50 different species of psittacines as well as various other birds, ranging from canaries to waterfowl.

Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFDV) (PEB105) Psittacine Circovirus/PBFD Specimen type Feathers, Blood Contents Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is a contagious viral illness affecting psittacine birds. Common symptoms of PBFD include lethargy, weight loss, abnormal feather shedding and growth, beak elongation and deformation, and ultimately, death.

Common symptoms of PBFD include lethargy, weight loss, abnormal feather shedding and growth, beak elongation and deformation, and ultimately, death. Avian polyomavirus presents a serious threat to caged birds, causing significant economic losses for pet retailers and bird enthusiasts.
