La variole aviaire est provoquée par un virus filtrant épithéliotrope qui provoque le développement d'inclusions intracytoplasmiques, appelées corpuscules de Bollinger. [...] La maladie est caractérisée par des éruptions sur les régions du corps dépourvues de plumes et aussi par des fausses membranes diphtéroïdes dans la cavité buccale. Selon le siège et le type des lésions, on distingue une forme cutanée et une forme muqueuse. Dans certains cas, elles peuvent se présenter simultanément. 3, record 1, French, - variole%20aviaire
