Virus Tests for Pigeons, Parrots and other Birds.
Easy, Reliable and at Low Cost.
Infections with viruses, bacteria and parasites are challanges for all keepers and breeders of birds.
The following "antigen tests" are aviable.
Antigen tests detect viruses and bacteria in the stool, slime or other material from infected birds.
1. Chlamydia psittaci
2. Paramyxovirus / Newcastle Disease
3. Pigeon Adenovirus
4. Salmonella
5. Giardia
6. Candida albicans
7. Avian Influenza
All these tests are easy to use. The material from the bird can be droppings, cloacal swab (taken with cotton tick), mouth swab, trachea swab, tear or snot from the bird.
The material is mixed with a special buffer solution, and thereafter a few drops are deposited in the hole in the test chip. After max 15 minutes you will see one line if there is no viruses present in the test material, or two lines if the virus is present in the test material.

Successful launch, demonstration and workshop in Atlanta, USA
Australian Veterinarian Dr. Colin Walker of Melbourn Bird Veterinary Clinic, held course and workshop on avian diseases at the "Dixi Convantion" in Atlanta USA, 25th - 28th October.

Take the sample on the cotton stick into the small tube with liquid. Blend and deposit some drops into the test chip. Within 5 - 10 minutes you will see a stripe will be visible in the Test area (T). The other stripe by C will be visible when the test is carried out correctly.
DISEASE SURVEYS
AvianLabs is planning to carry out surveys on pigeon and other bird shows to find out the how many birds are infected with special bacteria.
First we will sample pigeons and test for Salmonella at a few pigeon shows.
The sampeling will be done anonymously for the descretion of the fanciers.
The results will be made public in an anonymously way.
We plan more surveys to be carried out in the future.
In psittcine birds chlamdiosis is a very common disease that needs to be adressed attention at shows, but also in pet shops and also by breeders and fanciers.
