Mortality associated with avian reovirus infection in a free-living magpie (Pica pica) in Great Britain.
BMC Vet Res
February 2015
Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), Weybridge, New Haw, Addlestone, Surrey, KT15 3NB, UK.
Article Synopsis
- Avian reoviruses (ARVs) have been linked to serious health issues and deaths in various bird species, including corvids in North America and Europe, but ARV-associated disease had not been reported in British wild birds before this study.
- An individual magpie in Buckinghamshire exhibited signs of illness and was found dead, with post-mortem examinations revealing severe abnormalities in the liver and spleen, consistent with ARV infection.
- The presence of ARV was confirmed through multiple laboratory techniques, suggesting it was the primary cause of death in the magpie, which also suffered from a secondary Aspergillus infection due to weakened immunity.
