Necropsy tissues were examined from an adult wild-caught Ducorps' cockatoo (Cacatua ducorpsii) with progressive neurologic signs. Of the tissue specimens selected for histologic evaluation, only the brain contained rare amphophilic, glassy intranuclear inclusions within astrocytes and some neurons. Astrocyte and neuronal degeneration and necrosis also were observed. Scattered astrocytes, with and without discernable inclusions, contained avian polyomavirus (APV) nucleic acid, as determined by DNA in situ hybridization. In addition, endothelial cells and intravascular leukocytes contained psittacine beak and feather disease viral nucleic acid, as determined by DNA in situ hybridization, indicating dual viral infection. Electron microscopic examination of formalin-fixed brain tissue revealed typical intranuclear APV particles in some astrocytes. Encephalopathy ultimately was attributed to APV infection. |
