Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) outbreak in blue-and-gold macaws (Ara ararauna) in the State of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil

Abstract: Proventricular dilatation disease (PDD) is a lethal and important disease of captive psittacine birds, and affects a wide range of species, including endangered ones, and lacks an effective treatment. This report describes PDD in three blue-and-gold macaws (Ara ararauna) in southern Brazil. All three macaws originated from the same aviary and presented similar clinical signs including anorexia, apathy, emaciation and prostration. At necropsy, one of the macaws presented an enlarged proventriculus. Histological… Show more

“…Psittacine birds kept in captivity are susceptible to the deadly and debilitating proventricular dilatation disease (PDD), which affects a variety of species, including those that are endangered. The PDD in three blue-and-gold macaws (Araararauna) in southern Brazil [66]. Along with emaciation, seizures, and other neurologic changes, the syndrome is linked to gastrointestinal dysfunction, nervous system inflammation, and other changes [34].…”

“…Although some of these ABV have been able to induce clinical disease and characteristic lesions, several aspects of PDD pathogenesis are still not elucidated. Even though the epidemiological studies of parrot bornavirus have increased substantially in different parts of the world in recent years, few studies have been conducted in captive psittacine in Brazil [16][17][18]. Nevertheless, PDD has already been described in Brazilian threatened species, such as Spix's macaw (Cyanopsitta spixii), extinct in the wild [19].…”
