PSITTACINE BEAK AND FEATHER DISEASE

A complete qPCR kit for the detection of Psittacine beak and feather disease

Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is a viral disease that affects parrots and other psittacine birds, causing feather abnormalities, beak deformities, and immunosuppression. The causative agent is a circovirus, and early detection is crucial to prevent the spread of the disease within aviaries and breeding facilities. PBFD can have significant impacts on the bird trade industry and conservation efforts, making it essential to screen for the virus in affected populations.

YouSeq's qPCR kit to detect Psittacine beak and feather disease allows for sensitive and specific identification of the circovirus in bird samples. Early detection of PBFD using YouSeq's qPCR product can help prevent disease spread, reduce economic losses in the bird trade industry, and improve the overall health and well-being of psittacine bird populations.
