Intraerythrocytic inclusions associated with infection by an iridovirus were observed in a fer de lance (Bothrops moojeni) snake that was being evaluated for the presence of renal carcinoma. The erythrocytes contained two types of inclusions, one viral and one crystalline, usually concomitantly. The snake was markedly anemic and exhibited a marked regenerative response. Ultrastructural analysis identified the virus to be an iridovirus consistent with snake erythrocyte virus and the crystalline structures to be of a different nature than hemoglobin.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007181 Inclusion Bodies, Viral An area showing altered staining behavior in the nucleus or cytoplasm of a virus-infected cell. Some inclusion bodies represent "virus factories" in which viral nucleic acid or protein is being synthesized; others are merely artifacts of fixation and staining. One example, Negri bodies, are found in the cytoplasm or processes of nerve cells in animals that have died from rabies.
