Host Specificity and Long Persistence of Pox Infection in the Flicker (Colaptes auratus)

PETER KIRMSE 1

1 Division of Zoonoses and Wildlife Diseases Ontario Veterinary College, University of Guelph, Canada

The persistence of cutaneous lesions of avian pox virus infection in a yellow-shafted flicker (Colaptes auratus) over a period of 13 months is described. Extensive transmission experiments revealed strict host specificity for the flicker virus. Flicker-to-flicker transmission was achieved, both by inoculation and by cage contact. All attempts to isolate the virus were unsuccessful. The diagnosis of pox virus infection was confirmed by electronmicroscopy.
