PASA will be hosting an Online PBFD Webinar, where leaders in the field of research and testing will be panel members. This panel will discuss the status of research on the topic as well as how the testing for the presence of the virus is done.
The panel will be hosted by Dr Anton Smit, leading veterinarian in the husbandry of Parrots in South Africa. The focus of the discussion will be around the following:
Current Status of vaccine research.
Testing for presence of virus – process and pitfalls
Busting the Myths Surrounding PBFD

Due to the nature of the virus and the risk/stigma associated with the virus, this Webinar is to ensure that breeders have the latest available information available to them and how to address/manage and prevent the spread of the virus.
