Cutaneous tumour-like lesions due to poxvirus infection in Chilean flamingos

S Arai et al. J Comp Pathol. 1991 May.

Abstract

Cutaneous tumour-like growths were observed on the face and other areas of the body surface of young Chilean flamingos. In the cells of these lesions, avian pox-specific cytoplasmic inclusion bodies were observed by light microscopy and virus particles were detected under an electron-microscope. It was diagnosed as avian pox.
