title: [Parapox in a pigmy chimpanzee].
abstract: Parapoxvirus was found using electron microscopy in skin scrapings from a pygmy chimpanzee with a pustular skin disease. Clinical findings are described and possible ways of transmission are discussed. It seems remarkable that this is the first time parapoxvirus has been diagnosed in a nonhuman primate.
