Abstract
In a disease outbreak at a psittacine aviary, eight Pionus sp. and Ama zon parrots became sick. Three of four Amazon parrots died with severe esophagitis, and epithelial intranuclear inclusion bodies containing herpesvirus were prominent. Focal liver necrosis with rare hepatocyte intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in two of the dead Amazon par rots.
