Q
A

Liver cirrhosis with regenerative nodules

Chronic condition where there is scar tissue formation in the parnechyma, causing nodules. Less common in animals than humans. In humans it is caused by hepatitis and alcoholism.

Q
A

Liver cirrhosis - pseudolobules

These are formed from normal tissue and extended proliferation of scar tissue. The proliferation splits the smaller lobules from the nodules which forms pseudolobules. We can tell the difference as pseudolobules have no central vein.

Parvoviral necrotic-haemorrhagic enteritis of small intetsine of a dog
26
parvoviral necrotic-haemorrhagic enteritis of small instestine of a dog. We can see the mucosa above the peyer's patches is shrunken
27
What does the parvovirus target?
This virus is so small that the genome does not contain everything needed for replication so this virus targets replicating cells. It favours crypts as these contain large amounts of replicating cells e.g. Lieberkuhn crypt. They destroy these cells which causes the collapse of the villi.
28
Necrosis at the depths of the Lieberkuhn crypts due to parvovirus
29
Parvoviral necrotic-haemorrhagic enteritis This is an animal who survived, we can see proliferation in order to regain epithelial coverage on the villi that were collapsed due to the virus.
30
Parvoviral necrotic-haemorrhagic enteritis Centre of lymphoid particles targetted due to the presence of replicating cells
31
Why is there a shrunken appearance above the peyer's patches in the case of parvoviral necrotic-haemorrhagic enteritis?
The virus targets replicating cells, this may include the center of the lymphoid particles. The virus kills these cells to cause severe lymphoid depletion, especially in the enteric lymph nodes. This leads to a decrease in peyer's pathces to give the shrunken apperance.
32
Parvoviral necrotic-haemorrhagic enteritis The top layers is the epithelium and the lower layer is the muscle wall. The remnants of the villi are fused together i.e. they are rounded and shortened. They have no epithelial coverage.
33
Parvoviral necrotic-haemorrhagic enteritis Inflammatory cell accumulation with non-recognisable epithelial structures
34
What causes acute purulent leptomeningitis?
It occurs in the pig and is caused by Glasseurella parasuis or Streptococcus suis
35
What are the signs of acute purulent leptomeningitis?
The pig cannot stand and has a very stiff neck
36
Acute purulent leptomeningitis Severe lesions as we can see that the pia mater is extremely thickened
37
Acute purulent leptomeningitis Dilated blood vessels filled with blood as well as inflammtory cell accumulation in the meninges (dura mater, arachnoid, pia mater) This is caused by glasseurella parasuis
38
What is the predominant cell type of acute purulent leptomeningitis?
Neutrophilic granulocytes
39
What does listeria monocytogenes cause and in what animal?
Encephalitis in the goat
40
How does listeria monocytogenes affect ruminants?
This bacteria reaches the roal mucosa via contaminated feed and reaches the medulla oblongata via perineuronal lymphatic spaces to cause lesions and encephalitis
41
Encephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes in the goat
42
Encephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes
43
Encephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes
44
How does encephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes differe histologically from acute purulent leptomeningitis?
The meninges are not affected with listeria monocytogenes
45
Encephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes One of two types of lesions - perivascular lesions around the blood vessel (perivascular cuffing) Filled with mononuclear inflammatory cells
46
Encephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes One of two types of lesions - independent lesions where the bacteria arrived via the nerves and formed neutrophilic infiltrates known as micro abscesses
47
What causes neutrophils on the brain?
Encephalitis caused by listeria monocytogenes is the only bacteria to cause neitrophils on the brain.
48
West nile viral encephalitis of a horse
49
West nile viral encephalitis of a horse
50
How many types of lesions are there in west nile viral encephalitis?
Two Connected to blood vessels and not connected to blood vessels
51
West nile viral encephalitis of a horse Extreme perivascular cuffing with mononuclear cells, in multiple layers
52
How does west nile virus affect the neurons?
They undergo degeneration and die. They are then phagocytosed by glial cells which remove and replace degenerated neurons. This is known as glial scarring.
53
West nile viral encephalitis
54
West nile viral encephalitis
55
Where does canine parvovirus replicate?
In crypts e.g. Lieberkuhn crypts
56
What changes can be observed in the case of acute canine parvoviral enteritis?
Atrophy of villi, destruction of the intetsnal glands and inclusion body formation
57
What is Rubarth's disease?
A serous necrotising hepatitis caused by a virus (Canine adenovirus 1)
58
Liver cirrhosis is characterised by..?
Connective tissue proliferation
59
In which type of cells can the causative agent of bovine paratuberculosis be observed?
In the histiocytes
60
Which special stain is used for the presence of paratuberculosis?
Ziehl-Neelsen staining (stains the bacteria red)
61
Intranuclear inclusion bodies of Rubarth's disease
62
Inflammation in the liver (cholangiohepatitis)
63
West Nile Viral Encephalitis Degenerated neurons removed and replaced by glial cells (glial scarring)
64
West Nile viral encephalitis Lesion type: severe lymphohistocytic perivascular
