Avian bornavirus (ABV) has been shown the cause of proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) in psittacines. Many healthy birds are infected with ABV, and the development of PDD in such cases is unpredictable. As a result, the detection of ABV in a sick bird is not confirmation that it is suffering from PDD. Treatment studies are in their infancy. ABV is not restricted to psittacines. It has been found to cause PDD-like disease in canaries. It is also present at a high prevalence in North American geese, swans, and ducks. It is not believed that these waterfowl genotypes can cause disease in psittacines.
禽源博尔纳病毒(ABV)已被证实是鹦鹉目鸟类发生腺胃扩张病(PDD)的病因。许多健康鸟类都感染了ABV,在这种情况下PDD的发展是不可预测的。因此,在患病鸟类中检测到ABV并不意味着它患有PDD。治疗研究尚处于起步阶段。ABV并不局限于鹦鹉目鸟类。已发现它会在金丝雀中引起类似PDD的疾病。在北美鹅、天鹅和鸭子中它也有很高的流行率。人们认为这些水禽的基因型不会在鹦鹉目鸟类中引发疾病。
