Verminous meningoencephalomyelitis in a red kangaroo. The areas inside the yellow boxes in panels A, C, and E are presented at higher power in panels B, D, and F, respectively. A, B. Brain section (coronal plane at the level of frontal/parietal lobe) with hemorrhage, necrosis, and transverse sections of a nematode. C, D. Thoracolumbar spinal cord with multifocal cavitation and necrosis with loss of gray and white matter in the tissue adjacent to the central canal. These areas also contain several longitudinal and transverse sections of a nematode. E, F. Meninges of the cerebellum with hemorrhage and transverse sections of nematodes that are surrounded by cellular debris and moderate numbers of macrophages. Bar = 0.5 mm (A, C, E); bar = 50 µm (B, D, F).
