  • Title: Epithelial intracytoplasmic herpes viral inclusions associated with an outbreak of duck virus enteritis.
    Author: Barr BC, Jessup DA, Docherty DE, Lowenstine LJ.
    Journal: Avian Dis; 1992; 36(1):164-8. PubMed ID: 1314555.
    Abstract:
    Several muscovy ducks from a free-roaming flock of 65 muscovy and mallard ducks died over a 3-week period. Three muscovy ducks were necropsied. Gross and microscopic changes were compatible with duck virus enteritis, and the virus was isolated. In addition to intranuclear viral inclusion bodies in several tissues, intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies were present in esophageal and cloacal epithelium. By electron microscopy, the membrane-bound intracytoplasmic inclusions were found to contain enveloped herpesvirus, and nuclei contained herpes viral nucleocapsids.
