Abstract

SURVEYS of wild red (Sciurus vulgaris) and grey (Sciurus carolinensis) squirrels have revealed adenovirus (Everest and others 2009, 2010) and squirrelpox virus (SQPV) infections in both species (Atkin and others 2010), but, so far, it is unclear whether maternal transfer of either virus type to juveniles takes place. Here, we report evidence of maternal transfer of adenovirus DNA in juvenile wild grey and captive red squirrels.
