We investigated autopsy cases of tigers and cats infected with H5N1.The animals had eaten fresh chicken or dead pigeon carcass infected with H5N1 and died caused by high fever and severe respiratory disorder. At necropsy, infected animals showed severe hemorrhagic lesion in a systemic organ. H5N1 related antigens was also detected in brain, lung and liver by an immunohistochemical method.
