|
|
Two dead and two terminally sick badgers with signs of lacrimation and nasal discharge were submitted to the Pathology Division of the National Veterinary Research Institute for necropsy. The major gross findings included chronic dermatitis and pneumonia. histologically intracytoplasmic and intranuclear acidophilic inclusion bodies consistent with Canine Distemper (CD) virus particles in lung kidney urinary bladder skin foot pad stomach and small intestine. Additionally there were diffuse bronchointerstitial pneumonia hyperkeratosis of foot pads and focal non-suppurative encephalitis. Canine distemper infection in these badgers was further confirmed by immuofluorescent technique which demonstrated CD virus-specific antigens in lung and kidney sections.
