An adult stallion presented with a severe papular dermatitis of especially the neck, chest and genitalia. A marked scrotal oedema was present. Histopathological examination of skin biopsies, revealed the presence of numerous intracytoplasmic molluscum bodies in areas of focal epidermal hyperplasia. Electron microscopical examination showed the presence of typical pox virions in affected epidermal cells. Attempts at viral isolation were unsuccessful. This is believed to be the first reported case of molluscum contagiosum in a horse in the Republic of South Africa.
一匹成年种马出现严重的丘疹性皮炎，尤其见于颈部、胸部和生殖器部位。阴囊明显水肿。对皮肤活检组织进行组织病理学检查，发现在局灶性表皮增生区域存在大量胞质内软疣小体。电子显微镜检查显示在受影响的表皮细胞中有典型的痘病毒颗粒。病毒分离尝试未成功。据信这是南非共和国首例关于马传染性软疣的报道病例。
