Recently a novel avian bornavirus has been described that has been suggested to be the possible etiological agent for proventricular dilatation disease or macaw wasting disease. This article describes two macaws that shed avian bornaviral RNA sequences and demonstrated anti-avian bornavirus antibodies as revealed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blot, yet are free of outward clinical signs of the disease.
最近,一种新型禽博尔纳病毒被发现,有人认为它可能是腺胃扩张症或金刚鹦鹉消瘦症的病原体。本文描述了两只金刚鹦鹉,它们通过逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)、酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和蛋白质免疫印迹法检测出 shedding 禽博尔纳病毒RNA序列并显示出抗禽博尔纳病毒抗体,但没有该疾病的外在临床症状。
