The carcass of a male Amazon parrot (Amazona sp) revealed marked enlargement of liver and congestion in the mucosal surface of the entire digestive tract. Histopathological examination of liver revealed infiltration of heterogenous population of lymphoid cells. Hepatocytes revealed vacuolar degeneration and fatty cysts. Hepatocytes were also arranged in acinar pattern. PCR carried out using Meq gene primers with liver were confirmative of Marek's disease. Based on these findings, the cause of death was attributed to Marek's disease.
