Abstract

Nine flocks of psittacine birds were examined because of sudden death of neonates. In each flock, cause of death was determined to be polyomavirus infection, by means of DNA testing and in situ hybridization. Contaminated areas of aviaries were cleaned and disinfected, and vaccination programs, using a recently approved inactivated polyomavirus vaccine, were instituted. Use of the vaccine was found to be safe and efficacious.
