“…The conventional extraction methods demand higher skills from the researcher in the standardization of protocols, and this might be the reason why they are less commonly used now, taking into account the number of commercial kits available. However, for wild animal screening centers with large groups of birds where there is a need for routine evaluations of several pathogens, it is worthwhile to consider the use of conventional methods for the extraction of nucleic acids in order to reduce the final costs of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) without interfering in the quality of the genetic material extracted [ 46 , 47 ]. Cost reduction is especially important in countries with a high number of animals received by wild animal screening centers and with low investment in the research area, such as Brazil and Indonesia.…”

The first reports of viruses in psittacine birds date back to the early 1970s. Here, we elucidate the differences among these previous studies and the advances achieved. The objective of this study was to carry out a comprehensive review using both scientometric and systematic methods to analyze the evolution of published studies on viruses in psittacine birds up to 2022. The search descriptors “virus”, “diagnosis”, and “Psittaciformes” were used to find the articles of interest for this study. A total of 118 articles were manually selected, and the scientometric data were organized using the software VOSviewer® version 1.6.18. The present review revealed that: (i) on average, 2.5 articles/year on the diagnosis of viral infection in psittacine birds were published since 1975; (ii) the most productive research groups are concentrated in three countries: Australia, the United States, and Germany; (iii) the most important virus in psittacine birds is the Circovirus, which causes psittacine beak and feather disease; (iv) the diagnostic method of choice is polymerase chain reaction (PCR); and (v) the most studied psittacine birds were those in the Psittacidae family that were kept in captivity.
