Stop PDD

 -  "HELP STOP PROVENTRICULAR DILATATION DISEASE! A recently recognized infectious agent is killing companion, aviary, and free-ranging birds throughout the world. At present, no birds or aviaries are known to be protected. This dreaded affliction is called Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD). What Species are susceptible to PDD? In the order Psittaciformes, PDD has been reported in more than 50 species, including the families Cacatuidae (Cockatoos and Cockatiels) and Psittacidae (Lovebirds, Macaws, Parakeets, Parrots, Amazon Parrots, Conures). Pacific, South American and Afro-Asian species have been described with characteristic lesions. Suggestive lesions also have been reported in free-ranging Canada Geese (Branta canadensis, Order Anseriformes), and Spoonbills, Toucans and Weavers. Other non-psittacine birds also may prove to be susceptible to this disease as improved tests are developed to accurately diagnose affected individuals. Clinical reports suggest that adults are more commonly affected than neonates. "

Experimental transmission Of PDD

 -  "Experimental Transmission of Psittacine Proventricular Dilatation Disease (PDD) and Preliminary Characterization of a Virus Recovered From Birds With Naturally Occurring and Experimentally Induced PDD Christopher R. Gregory, Branson W. Ritchie, Kenneth S. Latimer, W. L. Steffens, Raymond P. Campagnoli, Denise Pesti, and Phil D. Lukert Psittacine Disease Research Group, College of Veterinary Medicine, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 (USA) Abstract. Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) was experimentally reproduced in five psittacine birds following inoculation with clarified tissue homogenates from a bird with naturally acquired PDD. Enveloped viral particles, measuring 80 nanometers in diameter, were recovered consistently from tissues and or feces of birds with PDD, whether the infection was obtained naturally or experimentally. Principals inoculated with tissue homogenates from control birds unaffected with PDD and control birds in contact with PDD-affected birds remained clinically normal. "
