(avian pox) p. 790 (Avian pox, caused by an Avipoxvirus in the Poxviridae family, is an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus that is mechanically transmitted via arthropod vectors or mucosal membrane, broken skin, or abraded skin contact with infected particles or individuals. Poxvirus infection has been reported for at least 278 of the approximately 9,800 bird species, but all avian species are likely susceptible)

found: Merck veterinary manual website, Apr. 9, 2020:Hoppes, S.M. Viral diseases of pet birds (Poxvirus infections. Poxviruses are large DNA viruses that induce intracytoplasmic, lipophilic inclusion bodies (Bollinger bodies) in the epithelial cells of the integument, respiratory tract, and oral cavity. All birds are considered susceptible to poxvirus infection, but many companion and aviary birds are rarely exposed to a susceptible strain. Because of import restrictions, poxvirus in blue-fronted Amazon parrots is no longer commonly seen. In pet bird practice, veterinarians will generally encounter only canary, lovebird, and pigeon poxviruses and fowlpox (see Fowlpox), which have specific host ranges)

Pox infections in birds other than chickens and turkeys (Infections with avian poxvirus have been seen in a variety of wild and pet birds; Genomic profiles of canarypox, mynahpox, and quailpox viruses show marked differences from fowlpox virus when their DNA is compared by restriction fragment length polymorphism after restriction endonuclease digestion; Avianpox virus infection has been considered as a population-limiting factor in endangered Hawaiian forest birds. Avianpox viruses isolated from Hawaiian crows (Corvus hawaiiansis), Hawaiian geese (Branta sandvicensis), Palila (Loxiodes bailleui), and Apapane species (Himatione sanguinea) are different from each other and from fowlpox virus)
