Clinicopathological investigation of an outbreak of peste des petits ruminants in small ruminants in South Gujarat, India

Aetio-Pathological Studies of Digestive and Respiratory Affections Affecting Kids

“…Apart from these, there was congestion in blood vessels along with telengiectasis. Similar observations were reported by Khillare et al, (2014) and Patel et al, (2015) in kids. Lungs showed serous pneumonia characterised by presence of serous fluid in alveoli along with infiltration of leucocytes and emphysema.…”

“…While mild pathological changes were observed in heart like congestion, haemorrhages, degenerative changes, infiltration of mononuclear cells and focal area of necrosis. Histopathological examination of lungs revealed alveolar dilatation, emphysema and infiltration of mononuclear cells along with pink colour serous exudate which was shown similarity with the earlier observations of various researchers (Aktas et al, 2011;Jagtap et al, 2012;Patel et al, 2015 andMaina et al, 2015). Presence of syncytial cells and eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion body in bronchial epithelium cells was supported by the earlier reports of Brown et al, (1991), Islam et al, (2001), Kumar et al, (2004), Toplu (2004), Kul et al, (2007) and Saglam and Temur (2009).…”

“…Histopathological lesions of kidney included degenerative changes, desquamation of epithelium lining of tubules, interstitial nephritis and mild glomerular atrophy were partly in accordance with the observations of Jagtap et al, (2012) and Patel et al, (2015).…”

“…Necrosis of epithelium/crypts in intestine was also found by Kumar et al, (2004), Aktas et al, (2011) and Patel et al, (2015). Whereas haemorrhages and infiltration of mononuclear cells into submucosa were partially agreement with the report of Maina et al, (2015).…”

“…According to present and earlier reports of Islam et al, (2001), Kul et al, (2007), Maina et al, (2015) and Patel et al, (2015) lymphoid cell depletion was observed in cortex and medullary cords of spleen and lymph node. It might be due to the sever lymphocytolysis in lymphoid tissues by PPR virus (Kul et al, 2007).…”
