  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Vacuolar&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;myelinopathy&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;was confirmed by light and electron microscopic examination of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), ring-necked ducks (Aythya collaris), and buffleheads (Bucephala albeola) collected during an epizootic at Lake Surf&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;central&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;North&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Carolina&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(USA) between November 1998 and February 1999. Clinical signs of affected birds were consistent with central nervous system impairment of motor function (incoordination, abnormal movement and posture, weakness, paralysis). This is the first report of this disease&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;in&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;wild&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;waterfowl&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Anseriformes).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
