Production of avian polyomavirus seronegative budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) from seropositive adults.

Adult budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) with 2 years of breeding experience were removed from an aviary with enzootic avian polyomavirus (APV) disease and maintained in an isolation unit. Following a 7-month respite from breeding, these birds were allowed to breed without interruption for 2 years. Although the adults were seropositive both at the beginning and end of the experiment, all 102 of their offspring were seronegative. These data suggest that APV can be eliminated from a budgerigar aviary with the use of simple management techniques.

Review of techniques used to image aortic dissection.

This article describes the imaging of aortic dissection from the perspective of a multidisciplinary imaging team. The relative merits of radiography, aortography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound and nuclear medicine are described. Each technique has unique advantages for initial diagnosis, confirmation and follow-up. In recent years, ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have seen increased use for diagnosis of the condition.
