Members of a wild-caught colony of 16 gray-crowned rosy finches (Leucosticte tephrocotis) were presented with dermal and mucosal lesions, anorexia, emaciation, lethargy, and sudden death. Lesions included dermatitis, conjunctivitis, and glossitis. Skin scrapings from and bacterial culture of dermal lesions yielded Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Necropsy and histologic examination revealed characteristic epidermal and mucosal pox lesions, with the presence of characteristic Bollinger body intracellular inclusions. Electron microscopy (EM) provided confirmation of pox virus infection. This epornitic resulted in the death or euthanasia of 12 birds (75% morbidity and associated mortality) and was brought to conclusion through culling of affected birds. The source of infection remains unknown, although multiple modes of introduction exist. Similar epornitics may be prevented through indoor, species-specific housing, and quarantine. Vaccination and antiparasitic treatment may reduce the risk of disease spread.
从野外捕获的16只灰冠玫瑰雀（Leucosticte tephrocotis）群体中的成员出现了皮肤和黏膜病变、厌食、消瘦、嗜睡和突然死亡的情况。病变包括皮炎、结膜炎和舌炎。对皮肤病变进行的皮肤刮片检查和细菌培养发现了金黄色葡萄球菌和白色念珠菌。尸检和组织学检查显示出特征性的表皮和黏膜痘疹病变，存在特征性的博林格小体胞内包涵体。电子显微镜检查（EM）证实了痘病毒感染。这次 epizootic 导致12只鸟死亡或被安乐死（发病率和相关死亡率为75%），通过扑杀患病鸟类才结束。尽管存在多种引入方式，但感染源仍然未知。通过室内、特定物种的饲养和隔离，可以预防类似的 epizootics。疫苗接种和抗寄生虫治疗可能会降低疾病传播的风险。 （注：epornitic 和 epizootic 可能是特定领域术语，这里直接保留英文未翻译，可根据具体专业情况进一步准确处理）
