Light microscopic findings in the cerebrum of white-tailed sea eagles. (A) Mild, acute, oligo- or multifocal, necrotizing polioencephalitis characterized by condensed, hypereosinophilic neuroglial cells with pyknotic and karyorrhectic nuclei (arrows) represents a typical lesion. Haematoxylin–eosin; Bar = 50 µm. (B) Immunohistochemistry confirmed the presence of influenza A virus nucleoprotein antigen within neuroglial nuclei (arrows) within the lesions. Polyclonal rabbit anti-influenza A FPV/Rostock/34-virus-nucleoprotein antiserum; avidin-biotin-complex method; 3-amino-9-ethyl-carbazol chromogen (red-brown); haematoxylin counterstain (blue); Bar = 50 µm.
