Understanding Paramyxovirus

This booklet is not a medical guide enabling pigeon fanciers to diagnose the disease and treat their pigeons. Only the veterinary surgeon is in a position to make a definite diagnosis. However, in view of the mistaken articles and errors published in the press and fanciers reviews, this booklet keeps you informed on the actual situation and makes an attempt to re-establish the truth. The sole purpose of this booklet is to explain what paramyxovirus is.
