“…The major clade (clade 1) based on capsid sequence similarities is considered as the most predominant PiCV in Taiwan and a recent report implicated the potential triggers of this disease in German herds (Mankertz et al, 2000). The other clades are minor groups related to isolates from Germany, England and Italy, indicating the geographicalindependent grouping.…”

“…PiCV was first documented in Canada in 1986 (Woods et al, 1994); since then, several outbreaks have been reported in many countries, including Northern Ireland (Smyth & Carroll, 1995;Todd et al, 2001), England (Gough & Drury, 1996), Germany (Mankertz et al, 2000;Raue et al, 2005;Soike, 1997), France (Abadie et al, 2001), Belgium (Duchatel et al, 2006), China (Yu et al, 2009), Hungary (Cságola et al, 2012 and Italy (Coletti et al, 2000;Franciosini et al, 2005). A comprehensive study has demonstrated that PiCV infection is associated with a multifactorial disease known as young pigeon disease syndrome (YPDS) possibly by inducing immunosuppression in infected birds (Raue et al, 2005;Schmidt et al, 2008).…”

“…The genus Circovirus of the family Circoviridae contains, or is likely to contain, porcine circovirus type 1 and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2), psittacine beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) and pigeon or columbid circovirus (PiCV) (Mankertz et al ., 2000;Todd, 2000;Todd et al ., 2001b). Additional candidate members of the genus have also recently been described, namely canary circovirus (Todd et al ., 2001a), goose circovirus (GoCV) (Todd et al ., 2001b) and duck circovirus (Hattermann et al ., 2003).…”

It has now been established that circovirus infection is common in farmed geese, but little is known about the clinicopathological significance of such infections. Ten clinically diseased geese suspected of being infected by circovirus were studied by in situ hybridization using a goose circovirus DNA probe. Circovirus DNA was demonstrated in the bursa of Fabricius (BF), spleen, thymus, bone marrow, liver, kidney, lung and heart, indicating that infection can be multisystemic. In some birds, virus DNA was present in very large quantities, most notably in the BF, liver and small intestine. With the exception of BF and thymus, there were no histological findings that would have suggested the presence of such quantities of circovirus DNA. In view of the very large quantities of virus DNA labelling present in some tissues, and by analogy to porcine circovirus type 2 infection and psittacine beak and feather virus infections, which are known to cause severe disease, and which have similar virus distribution to that found in our geese, it seems probable that the circovirus was important in the disease manifestations shown by the infected geese.

“…CoCV is the most frequently detected infectious agent in diseased young pigeons (Soike et al, 2001). The whole genome has been cloned and sequenced (Mankertz et al, 2000), and DNA-based diagnostic procedures have recently been developed Innovation and discovery 585 Kho et al (2000) (Soike et al, 2001). To make the PCR specific for CoCV, oligonucleotides primers were designed based on sequences in the putative cap gene, which exhibits the highest diversity among genes of circoviruses.…”

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approaches to the detection, differentiation and characterization of avian pathogens continue to be developed and refined. The PCRs, or reverse transcriptasePCRs, may be general, designed to detect all or most variants of a pathogen, or to be serotype, genotype or pathotype specific. Progress is being made with respect to making nucleic acid approaches more suitable for use in diagnostic laboratories. Robotic workstations are now available for extraction of nucleic acid from many samples in a short time, for routine diagnosis. Following general PCR, the DNA products are commonly analyzed by restriction endonuclease mapping (restriction fragment length polymorphism), using a small number of restriction endonucleases, based on a large body of sequence data. Increasingly, however, nucleotide sequencing is being used to analyze the DNA product, in part due to the expanding use of non-radioactive sequencing methods that are safe and enable high throughout. In this review, I highlight some recent developments with many avian viruses: Newcastle disease virus; circoviruses in canary and pigeon; infectious bursal disease virus (Gumboro disease virus); avian adenoviruses, including Angara disease/infectious hydropericardium virus, haemorrhagic enteritis virus of turkeys, and egg drop syndrome virus; avian herpesviruses, including infectious laryngotracheitis virus, duck plague virus, psittacine herpesvirus (Pacheco's parrot disease virus), Marek's disease virus and herpesvirus of turkeys; avian leukosis virus (associated with lymphoid leukosis or myeloid leukosis, and egg transmission); avian pneumoviruses (turkey rhinotracheitis virus); avian coronaviruses, including infectious bronchitis virus, turkey coronavirus and pheasant coronavirus; astrovirus, in the context of poult enteritis and mortality syndrome, and avian nephritis virus; and avian encephalomyelitis virus, a picornavirus related to hepatitis A virus.
