2. IBDV
What are cause of swollen eye/conjunctivitis/systemic illness in wild finches?
- Mycoplasma gallisepticum
- Vitamin A deficiency
- Chlamydia psittaci
What are causes of house finch and goldfinch deaths?
- Pacheco’s herpesvirus

What is a latent infection?
Virus particles are always present in the animals and cannot find full virions in the body, but can find the viral genome hidden in the nucleus.
What is a recurrent infection?
The genome wakes up and makes new infectious virions.
