An acute outbreak of encephalomyelitis in lions from a safari-park was investigated. Three moribund lions were euthanatized and a post mortem examination was performed. A disseminated non-suppurative polioencephalomyelitis with demyelination in the spinal cord was the only pathological finding. From tonsil material of one lion feline herpesvirus type 1 was isolated. Canine distemper virus, pseudorabies virus, feline infectious peritonitis virus and rabies were excluded as cause of the disease. The possible role of FHV-1 in etiology of the disease is discussed.
对一个野生动物园中狮子发生的急性脑脊髓炎疫情进行了调查。对三只濒死的狮子实施了安乐死并进行了尸检。唯一的病理发现是一种弥漫性非化脓性脑脊髓灰质炎,脊髓有脱髓鞘病变。从一只狮子的扁桃体材料中分离出了1型猫疱疹病毒。排除了犬瘟热病毒、伪狂犬病病毒、猫传染性腹膜炎病毒和狂犬病作为该病病因的可能性。讨论了FHV-1在该病病因学中的可能作用。
