Metagenomic Detection of Multiple Viruses in Monk Parakeet ( <i>Myiopsitta monachus</i> ) in Australia
Despite non-pathogenicity, the existence of multiple viruses within a bird species underscores the risk of these viruses spreading into the pet trade. Detection and a better understanding of avian viruses are crucial for the establishment of appropriate management and biosecurity measures in the domestic and international bird trade, which ultimately supports the conservation of vulnerable bird species.
