Main Article

Figure 1

Photographs and histopathology of Brazilian porcupine (Coendou prehensilis) with novel poxvirus tentatively named Brazilian porcupinepox virus, Brazil, 2019. A) Severely swollen and erythematous skin of the eyelids, nasal region, and around oral cavity. B) Severely swollen skin of the forelimbs. C) Histopathologic examination of skin. Marked epidermal hyperplasia and swollen epithelial cells with foci of ballooning degeneration are marked with the square, and parakeratotic hyperkeratosis is indicated by the line. Dermal hemorrhage at the dermal–epidermal junction is indicated with the oval. Hematoxylin and eosin stain. Scale bar indicates 200 μm. D) Histopathologic examination of skin. Cytoplasm of several epithelial cells of epidermis with round eosinophilic inclusions is indicated by arrows. Hematoxylin and eosin stain. Scale bar indicates 200 μm.
