A dead marten(Martes melampus) showing cough, ataxia and convulsion of hind limb followed by seizures, was submitted for diagnosis to the Pathology Division of the National Veterinary Research and Quarantine Service. In the gross lesions, lung was congested and consolidated and meningeal blood vessels were mildly congested. Histopathologic findings were diffuse interstitial pneumonia and nonsuppurative meningoencephalitis with malacia of cerebral and cerebellar white matter. Eosinophilic inclusion bodies were observed in neurons and astrocytes and oligodendroglial cells of brain and transitional epithelium of kidney. Using FA test and PCR method, specific antigens of canine distemper virus were demonstrated in the brain.
