According to media reports, there is no treatment for ‘Pigeon Paramyxovirus’ (PPMV), also known as Newcastle’s Disease, which affects a birds’ neurological system and is usually spread in cold and wet weather. Other birds, including doves, are also at risk of contracting the disease.
A new infectious disease has gripped hundreds of pigeons in the United Kingdom, leaving them with twisted necks, trembling wings and unable to move or fly, local social media reports claim.
