Isolation and Molecular Detection of Pigeon Pox Virus in a Pigeon with Both Cutaneous and Diphtheritic Forms of Pigeon Pox in Ghana

2024-06-11

Abstract excerpt

Unlike fowl pox, pigeon pox virus (PPV) has not been described in Ghana. This is the first report of the disease and virus in Ghana based on gross necropsy, histopathological analysis and molecular techniques. This index case was presented as the occurrence of both cutaneous (dry) and diphtheritic (wet) forms of the pigeon pox disease in a 5-month-old female pigeon. Although the observation of Bollinger bodies dur...
