Abstract

There was an outbreak of avian pox infection in a flock of bantams (Gallus domesticus) with gross lesions of erosions, crusts and nodules on the comb, eyelids, oral mucosa, legs and toes. In histopathological study eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were visualized by light microscope in epithelial cells of the cutaneous nodules. Electron microscopy revealed numerous pox virions in the inclusion body.
