  • Title: Poxvirus and multiple tumors in an eastern gray squirrel.
    Author: O'Connor DJ, Diters RW, Nielsen SW.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1980 Nov 01; 177(9):792-5. PubMed ID: 6256332.
    Abstract:
    A moribund juvenile gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) with numerous skin fibromas was submitted to the Northeastern Research Center for Wildlife Diseases. Necropsy revealed multiple firm white nodules in the lungs. On histologic examination, in addition to the skin lesions, fibromatous proliferations were seen in the wall of the alimentary tract, in 1 mesenteric lymph node, and in the myocardium. Tubular adenomas were seen in the renal cortex, and the lung nodules were bronchoalveolar adenomas. Eosinophilic intracytoplasmic poxvirus inclusion bodies were seen in both the mesenchymal and epithelial tumors.
