Abstract

Fibromatous nodular lesions were observed on the antler skin of reindeer from four separate farms, and from the haired skin from a deer from a fifth farm. the aim of this study was to investigate if the proliferative lesions represented an unusual manifestation of a viral infection. Despite extensive investigations using immunohistochemistry, PCr and electron microscopy, no evidence of viral involvement could be demonstrated. the aetiology of the lesions remains unknown.
