Whole-Genome Sequence Characterization of a Beak and Feather Disease Virus in a Wild Regent Parrot (Polytelis anthopeplus

The whole-genome sequence of beak and feather disease virus (BFDV) from a wild Australian regent parrot (Polytelis anthopep-lus monarchoides) was characterized. The genome consists of 1,993 bp and has a typical stem-loop structure between open read-ing frame 1 (ORF1) and ORF2. This is the first evidence of BFDV infection as well as the complete genome sequence for this host species, globally
