Description
Muhammadtaher Abdulrazaq Abdulrasol, Wafaa A Abd El-Ghany, and Harith Abdulla Najem report a 2026 field investigation of pigeon paramyxovirus-1 in domestic pigeons across seven Egyptian governorates. The virus, a pigeon variant of avian paramyxovirus type 1, causes nerve, gut, and breathing problems in pigeons.
Between April and September 2025 the team collected 39 pigeons aged 3 to 14 months from live bird markets and private lofts. More than 60 percent showed nerve signs such as twisted necks, head tremors, and circling, plus greenish diarrhea and eye inflammation. Postmortem findings included brain hemorrhages and swollen kidneys. The birds' tissues were tested by virus isolation in embryonated chicken eggs and by RT-PCR to confirm the virus.
