Falcon Herpesvirus, the Etiologic Agent of Inclusion Body Disease of Falcons
A viral agent has been isolated from five fatal cases of naturally occurring inclusion body disease in three different falcon species, namely, the prairie falcon ( Falco mexicanus ), the red-headed falcon ( F. chiquera ), and the peregrine falcon ( F. peregrinus ). The virus has been shown to posses...
