Abstrakt:	Viral type microvesicles and microscopic foci of epithelial necrosis were found in 10 different areas of grossly normal-appearing hairy skin of 17 steers experimentally inoculated with foot-and-mouth disease virus and necropsied 2 to 5 days after inoculation. Large quantities of virus were isolated from the epidermis of the respective body areas, and the microscopic skin lesions had most of the essential morphologic features of gross lesions caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus, at the usual sites of predilection in cattle. No comparable microscopic skin lesions were found in the uninoculated controls nor in several other inoculated steers necropsied at an early stage of infection. It was concluded that microscopic skin lesions may be a consistent pathologic alteration associated with foot-and-mouth disease virus infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
