Postmortem examination of a captive-bred American kestrel (Falco sparverius) showed numerous white necrotic foci 1-2 mm in diameter throughout the liver and spleen. The results of light and spleen. The results of light and electron microscopic studies and experimental transmission to a captive American kestrel and a barred owl (Strix varia) suggests a herpesvirus similar to those dsecribed for owls and other falcons in the U.S. This is the first report of a naturally occurring case of inclusion body disease of falcons in the American kestrel.
对一只人工饲养的美洲隼（矛隼）进行的尸检显示，肝脏和脾脏中遍布着大量直径为1 - 2毫米的白色坏死病灶。光学显微镜和电子显微镜研究结果，以及将其传染给一只人工饲养的美洲隼和一只条纹鸮（东方角鸮）的实验结果表明，这是一种类似于在美国针对鸮和其他隼所描述的疱疹病毒。这是美洲隼中自然发生的隼包涵体病病例的首次报告。
