Fig. 3From: A molecular epidemiological investigation of contagious caprine pleuropneumonia in goats and captive Arabian sand gazelle (Gazella marica) in OmanRepresentative graphs of gross, histopathological and IHC examinations of the necropsied CCPP naturally infected Arabian sand gazelle. A Acute form characterized by unilateral pleural adhesion (arrowhead), lung hepatization, and severe hydrothorax; B Lung showing a bronchiole completely obliterated with macrophages and few neutrophils (asterisk) (H&E, bar = 100µm); C fibrinous deposition and inflammatory cells obstructing a bronchiole (arrowhead) (H&E, bar = 100µm); D Immunostaining of lung tissue section with anti-Mccp antibody showing intense brown positive staining in the fibrin deposits, and inflammatory cells obliterating the bronchioles and alveoli (DAB staining, Hematoxylin counterstaining, bar = 100µm)Back to article page
