Nematode-induced pathological lesions and alterations of mucin pattern identified in abomasa of wild ruminants

Pasture-based fattening does not cause severe nonperforating lesions in veal calves of dairy breeds

“…Commonly, these findings were accompanied by intestinal parasites of the genera Ostertagia or Trichostrongylus that are known to further deteriorate lesions and influence excretory functions of epithelial cells of the abomasum (reviewed by Simpson, 2000 ). Magdálek et al (2021) described something similar in 21 abomasa of 5 cervid species. Since some calves in our study were also infected with parasites and both parasitic nodules and swollen lymph nodes were found, it is reasonable to assume that diffuse inflammation was related to their presence.…”
