Figure 5

Haematoxylin and eosin stained sections from 55 clinically healthy and 30 footrot tissue samples of skin/hoof interface were evaluated with regards to inflammatory score (A), area of cell ballooning (B), presence of intra-corneal micro-abscesses (C), presence of sub-corneal micro-abscess (D), and parakeratosis score (E). PAS stained sections from the same tissues were scored for disruptions of the basement membrane (F). The horizontal black line indicates median (A) and mean (B) values. Statistical analysis: Fisher’s exact test (A, C–E) and one-way ANOVA (B).
