Identification of Pigeon Torque Teno Virus in White Racing Pigeons
Research findings have led to the identification of Pigeon Torque Teno Virus (PTTV) in white racing pigeons exhibiting joint, ocular, and pock-like lesions. The study, published in Virus Genes, used molecular, microbiological, and histopathological analyses to detect the virus. The findings suggest that PTTV could be an emerging avian pathogen
