Avian allergic skin disease. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, M. (2002, April). Avian allergic skin disease. Paper presented at British Veterinary Dermatology Study Group Spring Meeting

A great deal of controversy surrounds whether or not allergic skin disease actually exists in birds. Many reports of allergic skin disease are anecdotal and little research has been done in this area.
