The falcon herpesvirus (FHV) is a pathogen of birds of the family Falconidae in which it causes inclusion body disease of falcons (IBDF), an invariably fatal disease. The virus has been isolated from natural cases of IBDF in the prairie falcon (Falco mexicanus) the peregrine falcon (F. peregrinus) and the red-headed falcon (F. chicquera). The disease has also been diagnosed on the basis of its characteristic le-sions in the gyrfalcon (F. rusticolis). Experi-mental inoculation with FHV resulted in fatal IBDF in a prairie falcon and two other falcon species, the American kestrel (F. sparverius) and the merlin (F. columbarius). A fatal disease clinically and pathologically indistinguishable from IBDF resulted from FHV inoculation of the following species representing 7 families; Swain-son’s hawk (Buteo swainsoni) Cooper’s hawk (Accipiter cooperi) sharp-shinned hawk (A. striatus) great horned owl (Bubo virgianus) screech owl (Otus asio) snowy owl (Nyctea scandiaca) American coot (Fulica americana) green heron (Butorides virescens) budgerigar (Melopsittacus undulatus) Amazon parrot (Amazona ocrocephala) ring-necked dove (Streptopelia risoria) and baby muscovy ducks (Cairina moschata). Representatives of 15 avian species and 5 mammalian species were shown to be refractory to FHV. |
