Abstract

This article presents relevant advances in avian medicine and surgery over the past 5 years. New information has been published to improve clinical diagnosis in avian diseases. This article also describes new pharmacokinetic studies. Advances in the understanding and treatment of common avian disorders are presented in this article, as well. Although important progress has been made over the past years, there is still much research that needs to be done regarding the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of avian diseases and evidence-based information is still sparse in the literature.

Keywords: Atherosclerosis; Avian; Avian bornavirus; Cardiology; Diagnosis; Pharmacokinetics studies; Prognosis; Reproductive disorders.
