The aim of this study was to document the detection rate of the beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) and avian polyomavirus (APV) across clinically healthy captive parrots in the Czech Republic. The presence of the BFDV and APV was tested using a nested polymerase chain rection (PCR) in 177 parrots originating from 34 facilities (breeding facilities, private owners). Positive BFDV results came from 38 parrots (21.5%) within 12 facilities (35.3%). Two parrots (1.1%) originating from two different facilities (5.9%) tested positive for APV. The results show a high detection rate of BFDV in the clinically healthy captive parrot populations in the Czech Republic. Preventive measures to stop the spread of this virus are, thus, essential.
本研究的目的是记录捷克共和国临床健康的圈养鹦鹉中喙羽病病毒（BFDV）和禽多瘤病毒（APV）的检出率。使用巢式聚合酶链反应（PCR）对来自34个机构（繁殖机构、私人饲养者）的177只鹦鹉进行BFDV和APV检测。12个机构（35.3%）的38只鹦鹉（21.5%）BFDV检测呈阳性。来自两个不同机构（5.9%）的两只鹦鹉（1.1%）APV检测呈阳性。结果表明，捷克共和国临床健康的圈养鹦鹉群体中BFDV检出率很高。因此，采取预防措施阻止该病毒传播至关重要。
