-general: All the tissues ore nfilldly to nfioderotely autolysed, and there are 



many clumps of bactehas In the lumen of blood vessels that sometimes 



occlude completely some small vessels. 



-brain: There Is a small to moderate amount of llpofuscin in the cytoplasm 



of some neurons of the brain, cerebellum and brainstem. 



-tongue: There is a moderate multifocal lymphocytic InftUratlon around 



the tongue mucus glands end their ducts under the Malplghlan epithelium. 



-lungs: We observe a moderate amount of nematodes In small bronchi, with 



a mild to moderate neutrophilic Infiltration around the parasite, often 



with a moderate Increase In the number of alveolar macrophages, and a 



moderate lympho-plasmacytlc Infiltration In the chorion. The same kind of 



inflammation extends in the surrounding alveolar lumen and wall, and In 



the wall of bronchi, bronchloll. We also note a mild multifocal
