Budgie with French Moult?...?

Does French Moult have any other side/health effects besides feather loss?

I keep reading that it's a virus that affects the feathers, mostly the larger ones, and may make the moulted area itchy.

Is it associated with tumours or organ failure? Is it like eczema in humans? Can people-skin be effected by the virus?

    French Moult is a virus that causes the main wing and sometimes the tail feathers to drop out in young budgies.In most cases they will grow back.There is no link to tumors or other organs.It cannot be transfered to humans.
