Se describe un caso de hepatitis por herpesvirus en un palomo que no presentó signos clínicos de enfermedad. Se observó hepatitis con cuerpos de inclusión intranucleares y, a veces, intracitoplasmáticos, que ultraestructuralmente se corresponden con partículas de naturaleza vírica, tipo herpesvirus. Esta es la primera mención de la enfermedad en España.

A male pigeon (Columba livia) dead with no clinical signs was investigated of having hepatitis. Light microscopy revealed intranuclear inclusion bodies, that ultrastructurally were shown to be herpesvirus-like particles. The particles were also found in the cytoplasm. These findings are consistent with previous reports of the disease in the pigeon. This is the first time the disease has been reported in Spain.
