The lesions associated with a papova-like virus infection in two splendid parakeets (Neophema splendida) are described. The most obvious microscopic lesion in both birds was enlargement of renal medullary collecting-duct epithelial cells. The nuclei of these cells were also enlarged, pleomorphic, and often bizarre, and intranuclear and intracytoplasmic virus-like particles (48 nm in diameter) were demonstrated within them. One bird also had a hepatopathy characterized by hepatocyte enlargement and nuclear pleomorphism.
描述了两只华丽鹦鹉（Neophema splendida）中与乳头瘤样病毒感染相关的病变。两只鸟最明显的微观病变是肾髓质集合管上皮细胞肿大。这些细胞的细胞核也肿大、多形性，且常常形态怪异，并且在其中发现了核内和胞质内病毒样颗粒（直径48纳米）。一只鸟还患有以肝细胞肿大和核多形性为特征的肝病。
