Issue Date: | 1997 | Journal: | Avian diseases | Abstract: | Se describe un caso de viruela cutánea en una grandala de Hodgson (Grandala coelicolor). El ave estaba emaciada y presentaba nódulos en los párpados, pico, cuello, patas y dedos. Al microscopio óptica se observaron cuerpos de inclusión eosinófilos intracitoplasmáticos en las células epiteliales de los nódulos cutáneos. Por medio del microscopio electrónico se detectaron numerosos viriones del virus de viruela en los cuerpos de inclusión. Esta constituye la primera descripción de viruela cutánea en una grandala de Hodgson. A case of cutaneous avian pox infection in a Hodgson's grandala (Grandala coelicolor) is described. The bird was emaciated and had nodules on the eyelids, bill, neck, legs, and toes. Eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were visualized by light mi- croscopy in epithelial cells of the cutaneous nodules. Electron microscopy revealed numerous pox virions in the inclusion bodies. This is the first report of cutaneous poxvirus infection in a Hodgson's grandala. |
