“…There was a conspicuous correlation with prior attendance of shows. The prevalence of pigeon RVA among clinically affected pigeon lofts turned out to be much lower than in other studies [4,5]. Most of the analysed samples from the pigeon lofts were sent months after the first symptoms occurred.…”

“…So far, viruses of this clade have only been detected in pigeons. Recently, an infection study fulfilled Henle-Koch's postulates and confirmed pigeon RVA genotype G18P [17] to be primary cause of young pigeon disease syndrome (YPDS)-like diseases in domestic pigeons [5]. Furthermore, it is supposed that the pigeon circovirus (PiCV), a member of the genus Circovirus, family Circoviridae, contributes to outbreaks of YPDS.…”

“…Infections are usually restricted to the gastrointestinal tract and are self-limiting, although fatalities can occur as a result of dehydration, especially in younger animals. In contrast, the newly described pigeon-associated clade of rotavirus A (RVA) has been shown to cause systemic infections [4], resulting in clinical signs such as apathy, fluffy plumage, inappetence, emesis, stowed crop, emaciation, and diarrhoea [1,4,5]. So far, viruses of this clade have only been detected in pigeons.…”

Prevalence of pigeon rotavirus infections: animal exhibitions as a risk factor for pigeon flocks

et al. 2020

A total of 289 cloacal swabs from pigeons from 29 different breeders in Germany were collected. In addition, samples from pigeons exhibited at shows were collected. The detailed health status of the pigeon flocks was recorded. Samples were analysed for the presence of the recently discovered pigeon rotavirus and pigeon circovirus. Pigeon rotavirus was found in 10.3% and pigeon circoviruses was found in 65.5% of sampled pigeon lofts. The study revealed a strong relationship between the attendance of shows and the occurrence of different clinical signs. The higher prevalence of pigeon rotavirus in exhibited animals indicates that exhibitions are a risk factor for the transmission of this pathogen.

“…However, since confirmation of rotavirus infection (RVA) in domestic pigeons in Australia, causing the disease similar to YPDS [31], the role of PiCV in the etiology of the disease syndrome has been depreciated. One of the most recent theories says that the characteristic clinical symptoms of the disease are directly related to RVA infection [32,33].…”

The Clinical Infection with Pigeon Circovirus (PiCV) Leads to Lymphocyte B Apoptosis But Has No Effect on Lymphocyte T Subpopulation

et al. 2020

The pathology of pigeon circovirus (PiCV) is still unknown, but it is regarded as an immunosuppressant. This study aimed to find a correlation between PiCV natural infection and immunosuppression. The study was conducted with 56 pigeons divided into the following groups: PiCV-positive but showing (group S) or not (group I) non-specific clinical symptoms and asymptomatic pigeons negative for PiCV (group H). The percentage and apoptosis of T CD3+ and B IgM+ splenocytes; the expression of CD4, CD8, and IFN-γ genes in splenic mononuclear cells; the number of PiCV viral loads in the bursa of Fabricius; and the level of anti-PiCV antibodies were analyzed. The results showed that the percentage of B IgM+ cells was almost two-fold lower in group S than in group H, and that ca. 20% of the lymphocytes were apoptotic. No increased apoptosis was detected in TCD3+ subpopulation. The PiCV viral loads were approximately one thousand and ten thousand times higher in group S than in groups I and H, respectively. Our results indicate a possible correlation between the number of PiCV viral loads and severity of PiCV infection and confirm that PiCV infection leads to the suppression of humoral immunity by inducing B lymphocyte apoptosis.
