Abstract
In a retrospective study the presumed infection with parapoxvirus in t hree calves of red deer (Cervus elaphus) was clarified electronmicrosc opically. The animals found dead in a Bavarian hunting area in 1963 sh owed macroscopical and histological lesions classified as those in lab ial ecthyma contagiosum. This is perhaps the first report on ecthyma i n free-living red deer.
