Observation and examination of the reproductive system. (A–H) The female reproductive system at 5 dpi. (A,B) Oophoritis was present, characterized by focal necrosis and the presence of mononuclear cells and lymphocytes in the stromal connective tissue. No mature follicles were found. (C,D) Robust viral RNA expression was detected in the area of the corpus luteum. (E–L) The male accessory sexual gland at 7 dpi. (E–H) Prostatitis and inflammation of the vesicular gland. (I–L) Robust viral RNA expression was detected in a patchy distribution in the interstitium of the prostate and the epithelium of the vesicular glands. Sequential sections were stained by HE and subjected to ISH. Data were representative of three independent experiments.
