Abstract
Skin lesions known as "tattoos", were observed in several captive Atlantic bottlenosed dolphins (T. truncatus) maintained at the Naval Ocean Systems Center, San Diego, California [USA]. Biopsy of typical lesions and subsequent ultrastructural examination revealed intracytoplasmic particles with poxvirus morphology.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
