Abstract
Adult and nestling cockatoos were vaccinated with an experimental inactivated PBFD vaccine. PBFDV antibody responses of adult and nestling cockatoos were comparable to those induced by primary-oil emulsion vaccination regimen using Freund's adjuvants. Both vaccines protected galah and sulphur-crested cockatoo
nestlings but accelerated the development of natural disease in 5 birds. Un-vaccinated control chicks developed severe acute PBFD within 4 weeks of challenge, probably from PBFDV-induced hepatitis since high concentrations of PBFDV were detected in their livers.
