Ovine pulmonary cytomegalovirus.
Cytomegalic cells with intranuclear inclusions were identified in lung tissue from one of two weanling Western lambs with pneumonia and Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae infection. On the basis of light and electron microscopy, cytomegalovirus infection was diagnosed. Arrays of viral particles whose morphology was consistent with that of viruses of the herpes group were in the intranuclear inclusions of cytomegalic cells.
