A spontaneous generalized visceral disease of guinea pigs, characterized by the presence of intranuclear inclusion bodies of the herpes type, is described. The possible relation of this disease to the salivary gland virus infection of guinea pigs is discussed.

Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) disease is an acute highly contagious viral disease leading to massive economic losses to the national poultry industry. This study aimed to identify the most accurate and rapid diagnostic methods to rescue layer poultry farms from intense outbreaks in Egypt. Fifty pathological specimens were collected and subjected to virus isolation (VI), histopathology, dir...

Acute pulmonary edema, splenomegaly, and ascites were observed in a disease outbreak in adult white and pearl guinea fowl. The clinical history and gross and microscopic lesions resembled those described for marble spleen disease of pheasants and avian adenovirus group II splenomegaly of chickens. A small number of intranuclear inclusion bodies were found in liver, spleen, and lung sections of ...

samples of formalin fixed gastrointestinal organs of three month ostrich chicks were submitted to the department of pathology, razi vaccine and serum research institute. histologically hepatitis and pancreatitis with large eosinophilic intra nuclear inclusion bodies were prominent in hepatic and pancreatic cells. these inclusions were suspected as adenovirus inclusion body hepatitis (ibh) in va...

1. Acidophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies occur in the salivary glands of Chinese infants dying from miscellaneous causes. The lesion is similar to that previously described in infants in Europe and America. 2. Attempts to prove that this lesion is due to an infectious agent by its production in animals have been unsuccessful. 3. Acidophilic intranuclear inclusion bodies have been found in t...

Thirty of 200 (15%) hatchling inland bearded dragons were found dead after a short period (48 hours) of weakness and lethargy. The most common clinical signs were head tilt and circling. Six bearded dragons with neurological signs were euthanized, and postmortem examination revealed no gross abnormalities. Microscopically, severe, randomly distributed hepatocellular necrosis with large basophil...

Lungs and lymph nodes of 79 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) that died from 6 August 1987 to 16 April 1988 along the Atlantic coasts of New Jersey, Virginia, and Florida (USA) were examined histologically and were tested for the presence of morbillivirus antigen by an immunoperoxidase technique. Lung lesions included areas of interstitial pneumonia characterized by varying comb...

Intranuclear inclusions generally concluded to represent a heterogeneous class of bodies are readily distinguishable from nucleoli, fat droplets, crystals, or melanin also found within nuclei. The intranuclear inclusions associated with virus infection have been broadly classified into two types by Cowdry, type A and type B (1). Both A and B inclusions exhibit morphological variations and the f...
