Viral skin diseases of birds

https://doi.org/10.1016/S1055-937X(05)80042-8Get rights and content

Viral skin diseases that are commonly observed in avian practice are reviewed. The clinical signs of psittacine circovirus disease, avian pox, and papovavirus diseases are described. Emphasis is placed on the diagnosis and management of these diseases.
