Inhaltsangabe

A guide to understanding and controlling viruses that infect companion, aviary and free-ranging birds. This work begins with a general explanation of how viruses function and how they can be stopped from adversely affecting individuals as well as populations of birds. Information is also provided on specific viruses affecting avian species, how these viruses function and why certain species of psittacine birds are susceptible to these pathogens. The book explores what is available to prevent the spread of viral disease within a flock as well as potential developments in this area. For viral diseases that have been documented in poultry but not in other avian species, the author provides perspectives on how a disease process might occur if a related virus was found to infect companion, aviary or free-ranging birds.
