Polyomavirus infections in budgerigars, in other parrots as well as in passeriformes have been described in many countries, but not in Switzerland so far. This paper reports on cases of polyomavirus infections in three different bird collections in Switzerland. The first outbreak occurred in a mixed collection of passeriformes, the second in a collection of parrotlets (Genus Forpus), and the third in a large groups of parrots (Psittaciformes), of which only one recently acquired Kea (Nestor notabilis) was affected. The clinical symptoms, gross necropsy changes and histopathologic findings are described. The presence of avian polyomavirus was confirmed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
许多国家都报道过虎皮鹦鹉、其他鹦鹉以及雀形目鸟类感染多瘤病毒的情况，但瑞士目前尚未有此类报道。本文报告了瑞士三个不同鸟类养殖场发生的多瘤病毒感染病例。首次疫情发生在一个雀形目鸟类的混合养殖场，第二次发生在一个鹦鹉小种（福普斯属）养殖场，第三次发生在一大群鹦鹉（鹦形目）养殖场，其中只有最近引进的一只啄羊鹦鹉（啄羊鹦鹉属）受到感染。文中描述了临床症状、大体尸检变化和组织病理学发现。通过聚合酶链反应（PCR）确认了禽多瘤病毒的存在。
