A severely emaciated adult Steller's sea eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus) was found dead with electrocution-induced severe wing laceration, and with multiple cutaneous pock nodules at the periocular regions of both sides nearby the medial canthi and rhamphotheca. Histopathological examination of the nodules revealed hyperplasia of the epidermis with vacuolar degeneration and intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (Bollinger bodies). The proventriculus was severely affected by nematodes and was ulcerated. Nucleotide sequencing of a PCR-amplified product of Avipoxvirus 4b core gene revealed 100% identity to the sequence of Avipoxvirus derived from other eagle species. This report describes the first detection of Avipoxvirus clade A from a Steller's sea eagle.
一只严重消瘦的成年虎头海雕（Haliaeetus pelagicus）被发现死亡，身上有电击导致的严重翅膀撕裂伤，在内眦和喙附近的双侧眼周区域有多个皮肤痘疹结节。对这些结节进行组织病理学检查发现，表皮增生，伴有空泡变性和胞质内包涵体（博林格小体）。前胃受到线虫的严重影响并出现溃疡。对禽痘病毒4b核心基因的PCR扩增产物进行核苷酸测序，结果显示与源自其他鹰种的禽痘病毒序列100%相同。本报告描述了首次从虎头海雕中检测到A类禽痘病毒。
