Note on the pathology of experimental infection of pigeons by the pigeon paramyxovirosis type I (PPMV-1).
Oral, intramuscular or intravenous experimentally induced infection of pigeons by paramyxovirosis serotype I (PPMV-1) resulted in nervous signs, and diarrhoea. Necropsic examination showed mild to moderate congestion of viscera and catarrhal enteritis. Histo-pathological changes were most frequent in the central nervous system, followed by kidneys, liver, pancreas, intestines and lungs, together with mild to severe non-purulent meningoencephalitis.
