Abstract
Tumorous, virus-induced skin lesions in two golden hamsters (Mesocrice tus auratus) were characterized macroscopically and by means of light- and electron-microscopy. Evidence of a virus was demonstrated in the ultra-thin sections and by the negative staining method. The morpholog ical findings confirm the assumption that infections with papoviruses - probably of the polyomavirus genus - were involved.
