A herpesvirus was isolated from the liver of a captive-bred American kestrel (Falco sparverius) which had died of inclusion body disease. Initial isolation was achieved in chicken embryo fibroblasts after three blind passages. Cell-adapted virus produced a distinct rounding of CEF cells within 24 to 48 h. Biologic and serologic tests suggested that the kestrel virus is similar to falcon herpesvirus and pigeon herpesvirus and is at least partially related to owl herpesvirus. However, serologic tests indicated that the kestrel herpesvirus is neither related to infectious laryngotracheitis virus nor to a herpesvirus from a psittacine bird; (Eupsittula canicularis) with Pacheco's parrot disease. This is the first report on the recovery of a herpesvirus similar to falcon herpesvirus from an American kestrel with naturally-occurring inclusion body disease, and on the serologic comparison between falcon herpesvirus and a psittacine herpesvirus.
从一只死于包涵体病的人工饲养的美洲隼（矛隼）肝脏中分离出一种疱疹病毒。经过三次盲传后，最初在鸡胚成纤维细胞中实现了病毒分离。适应细胞的病毒在24至48小时内使CEF细胞明显变圆。生物学和血清学检测表明，隼病毒与隼疱疹病毒和鸽疱疹病毒相似，并且至少部分与猫头鹰疱疹病毒有关。然而，血清学检测表明，隼疱疹病毒既与传染性喉气管炎病毒无关，也与来自一只患有帕切科鹦鹉病的鹦鹉（黄额鹦鹉）的疱疹病毒无关。这是关于从一只患有自然发生的包涵体病的美洲隼中分离出与隼疱疹病毒相似的疱疹病毒，以及关于隼疱疹病毒和鹦鹉疱疹病毒血清学比较的首次报告。
