Abstract
Two cases of a rare virus-induced disease of Guinea pigs are described . The animals had died because of a pneumonia. Large intranuclear vira l inclusion bodies could be demonstrated in the endothelial cells of t he lungs. In the second case inclusion bodies could be found additiona lly in macrophages of the spleen and in macrophages, hepatocytes and e ndothelial cells of the liver. By means of electron microscopy the vir us could be specified as adenovirus.
