Abstract
An adult male mouse (Strain Sc/CpbU), was brought for euthanasia and necropsy. The animal showed a ruffled fur, coniunctivitis of the left eye and superficial ulcerating lesions on the nose and on digits of the paws. The animal originated from a conventionally housed colony of mice (C57B1/U, Zo:Wk, Sc/CpbU). Anamnesis mentioned also a sick male C57B1/U mouse in the same colony which showed an ulcerating lesion on the distal part of the tail. A wild mouse with an ulcerating tail was seen in the same room. Thorough examination of the colony revealed several mice with lesions on the nose, the limbs and/or tail.
