Abstract

A Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius) with lethargy, dyspnea, and poor physical condition was rescued and referred to the Animal Health Center, Seoul Zoo, Korea. The jay's eyelids were sealed with dark-colored hard scabs and it died the day after arrival. At necropsy, diphtheritic membranes on the tongue and oral mucosa were apparent, suggesting avian poxvirus infection based on the appearance of the oral diphtheritic lesions. PCR was conducted using a tissue sample to confirm the causative agent. The jay was diagnosed with an avian pox viral infection. This report describes the first case of a natural avian pox infection in a Eurasian jay in Korea.

기면 및 호흡곤란 상태로 서울대공원 동물병원으로 내원하여 다음날 폐사한 체중 90 g의 어치를 검사한 결과 양쪽 눈 모두 건조한 딱지로 덮여 눈을 떨 수 없는 상태로 눈꺼풀이 붙어 있었으며, 혀 및 구강내부 점막에 누런 치즈 양 물질이 붙어 있어 계두로 의심되어 PCR 검사를 실시한 결과 국내에서 자연 발생한 계두의 첫 증례로 진단되었다.
