Halicephalobus gingivalis
What is the Mdx for this histo in a horse?

Multifocal granulomatous nephritis (has multinucleated giant cells and increased vaculoation of the neuropil)
What is the Mdx in this horse which is due to infection with H. gingivalis?

Granulomatous and eosinophilic meningoencephalitis
What is the etiology in this lamb?

Clostridium perfingens type D (epsilon toxin)
Describe the abnormalities….

- multifocal areas of hemorrhage and malacia
- focal areas in the brain stem and basal nuclei
What is the name of the disease in the lamb?
Due to what etiology?

- focal symmetrical encephalomalacia (FSE)
- Clostridium perfingens type D
Describe the lesions (what we said in class)…

- slightly depressed area of malacia in the internal capsule
- microscopically was able to determine if it was really malacia by seeing spongiform change, necrosis, gliosis and microhemorrhage (FYI)
Describe what looks abnormal….

- miningeal blood vessels are hyperemic
- right side appears to be bigger than the left side
- Gyri appear to be slightly swollen (suggesting edema)
- small lesion in the cranial portion of the brain

- Nigropallidal encephalomalacia
What is the name of the disease?

Centuria poisioning
Where is the lesion located?
