A virus was isolated in Egypt from brain and liver collected from domestic pigeons suffering from nervous disorders. The morphological and biophysical properties of the virus were consistent with it being a member of the family Herpetoviridae. Antigenically the virus was closely related to if not identical with pigeon herpes encephalomyelitis virus.
