The carcass of a great horned owl (Bubo virginianus), which had been found moribund in southern Ontario, was presented for necropsy. Throughout the liver and spleen were numerous white foci 1-2 mm in diameter; also noted were white plaques in the mucosae of the pharyngeal papillae and intestine. Results of light and electron microscopic studies and experimental transmission to two captive great horned owls suggested that this was a herpvirus disease similar and possibly indentical to the owl disease reported by other workers in Wiconsin and Australia.
一只在安大略省南部被发现濒死的大角鸮（Bubo virginianus）尸体被送来进行尸检。肝脏和脾脏布满了无数直径为1 - 2毫米的白色病灶；咽乳头和肠道黏膜上也有白色斑块。光学显微镜和电子显微镜研究结果以及将其传染给两只圈养大角鸮的实验表明，这是一种疱疹病毒疾病，与威斯康星州和澳大利亚其他研究人员报告的猫头鹰疾病相似，甚至可能相同。
