Summary
We reviewed pathological findings and to a lesser extent epidemiological data from 70 free-ranging columbiforms naturally infected with Pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (PPMV-1) from 25 different PPMV-1 mortality events in columbiforms in the USA. In a subset of 17 birds from 10 of the studied outbreaks, we carried out immunohistochemistry targeting PPMV-1 nucleoprotein to determine the tissue distribution of the virus.
Summary
We reviewed pathological findings and to a lesser extent epidemiological data from 70 free-ranging columbiforms naturally infected with Pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (PPMV-1) from 25 different PPMV-1 mortality events in columbiforms in the USA. In a subset of 17 birds from 10 of the studied outbreaks, we carried out immunohistochemistry targeting PPMV-1 nucleoprotein to determine the tissue distribution of the virus.
The data were collected from USGS-NWHC LIMS database, USGS-NWHC Epizoo database, and in one event (Kansas 2016) facilitated by collaborators from Southeastern Cooperative Wildlife Disease Study (SCWDS). In addition, new data was generated by reviewing histopathology slides from the included cases stored at the USGS-NWHC facilities since 2009 to 2016. The data were collected to further understanding of the presentation and pathogenesis of PPMV-1 in wild birds.
