Pigeon pox

Pigeon pox is a viral disease to which pigeons are susceptible.[1] There is a live viral vaccine available (ATCvet code: QI01ED01 (WHO)). Pigeon pox is caused by a virus that is spread by mosquitoes and dirty water but not in droppings.

The disease causes pox scabs to form around the bird's face, mouth and feet.[2]
