Isolation of a new psittacine virus in China
Abstract: strain of new virus was isolated from fledgling budgetigars.The viruses were purified byusing Sepharose-2B chromatography.The size fo the virions was about 50 nm by electronic mi-croscopy.Pure virions were inoculated to healthy young fledgling budgerigars(not older than 5days).All of the birds were clinically abnormal,11 days later they died one by one.So we con-cluded that the virns is an important pathogen for the young fledgling budgerigars in China.
