Fig 3

(A, B) Cerebrum. Encephalitis in a fox (A; HE x400) and a stone marten (B; HE x200), displaying mild to moderate, perivascular, lymphohistiocytic and plasmacytic infiltration (arrowheads). (C) Cerebral cortex. Granulomatous encephalitis in a raccoon dog. Focal granulomatous encephalitis with a necrotic centre (asterisk) and mild compression of the surrounding neuroparenchyma (arrowhead) are present (HE x200). (D) Liver. Hepatitis in a stone marten. Mild, multifocal, mostly periportal, lymphohistiocytic infiltration (arrowhead; HE x400). (E) Kidney. Nephritis in a fox. The interstitium is expanded by moderate numbers of multifocally distributed, lymphoplasmacytic and histiocytic infiltrates (arrowhead; HE x200). (F) Skin. Dermatitis in a fox. Focally, there is extensive ulceration with acute haemorrhage (asterisk). The underlying dermis shows multifocal, perivascular and periadnexal chronic suppurative inflammation (arrowhead; x40). HE, hematoxylin and eosin.
