Aviær polyomavirusinfektion
Also known as: Infektion med undulatungesygdomsvirus
Aviær polyomavirus er en virussygdom, der primært dræber unge fugle, med akut død, mavehævelse, blødning og unormal fjerudvikling. Hos undulater er den årsag til undulatungesygdom. Ældre fugle kan blive inficerede uden tydelig sygdom, men kan stadig udskille virusset.
