Abstract

Near Berlin, Germany, several juvenile red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) were found with moist, crusty skin lesions. Histology, electron microscopy, and cell culture isolation revealed an orthopoxvirus-like infection. Subsequent PCR and genome analysis identified a new poxvirus (Berlin squirrelpox virus) that could not be assigned to any known poxvirus genera.

摘要

在德国柏林附近，发现几只幼年红松鼠（Sciurus vulgaris）患有潮湿、结痂的皮肤病变。组织学、电子显微镜和细胞培养分离显示出一种类似正痘病毒的感染。随后的 PCR 和基因组分析鉴定出一种新的痘病毒（柏林松鼠痘病毒），它不能被归为任何已知的痘病毒属。
