Drs. Jan Hooimeijer is a reputable veterinarian in the Netherlands. He runs a clinic wich is specialised in birds of all kind and has done a lot of research. He claims that avian Leukosis is proven in Chickens, pheasant, ducks, goose, parrot, parakeets and canary. And also in bovine animals and cats. It is a Dutch site http://www.kliniekvoorvogels.nl Contact: info@kliniekvoorvogels.nl Back to top Brett Foundation Member Joined: Aug 02, 2005 Posts: 10 Posted: Wed Aug 02, 2006 3:46 pm    Post subject: "Chickens are the natural hosts of all viruses of the leukosis/sarcoma virus group; these viruses have not been isolated from other avian species except pheasants, partridges and quail". Fadley AM, Payne LN. 2003. Leukosis/sarcoma group. In: Saif YM (ed) Diseases of poultry 11th edition. Pp 465-516. Blackwell Publishing, Iowa USA. This is my most current source of information on avian leukosis virus. If Dr Hoojimeier has new published information I would be keen to see it.

When he replies, I will post it as soon as possible. I have found some scientific papers about some forms of Leukosis in psittacinebirds. There was indeed no virus isolated. http://www.vet.uga.edu/IVCVM/1998/garcia/garcia.htm http://www.vet.uga.edu/ivcvm/1998/latimer1/latimer1.htm I have found that each type of Leukosis has his own specific virus. Enzootic bovine leukosis> bovine leukosis virus (BLV) Marek's disease> Herpesvirus Avian leukosis or Lymphoid leukosis > retrovirus Leukosis or Leukemia in humans> no virus I wonder if there is a virus needed to cause a type of Leukosis in psittacines.
