The cytomegalic inclusion body disease or salivary gland virus infection is caused by the salivary gland virus which is species-specific, and characterized by formation of the cytomegalic inclusion bodies (CIB). The affected cells become dimensional enough to contain large intranuclear and sometimes granular intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies (Photo. 1). The CIB appear frequently in the parotid and submandibular glands, according to many studies which have been already reported. The purpose of this study is concerned with the portal of entry and the route of infection of salivary gland virus to the submandibular gland, and also with the relationship of cell infiltration and affected cells.
