Abstract
Pigeon circovirus infection (PiCV) was diagnosed by light and transmission electron microscopy in 15 birds from five lofts in western France. Histopathological findings were suggestive of primary bursotropism of pigeon circovirus, followed by secondary systemic spread from the bursa of Fabricius, particularly to non-bursal lymphoid organs. The last stage of the disease was associated with various secondary (particularly bacterial) infections. In situ detection of apoptosis in the bursa of Fabricius indicated that PiCV was concomitant with an increase in bursal lymphocytic apoptotic events related to viral infection and leading to severe acquired immunosuppression.

Abstract
Gluteus medius muscle was sampled from 53 Cob Normand horses for histologic evaluation. Twenty horses (38%) exhibited amylase-resistant material in myocytes consistent with polysaccharide storage myopathy. Diameter of affected type II fibers was increased (67.7 ± 21.4 μm) compared with normal ones (57.3 ± 19.7 μm). Two groups were distinguished by quantitative study. The first group (n = 14; 26%) was characterized by a low percentage of fibers (m = 0.98%) containing aggregates occurring singly or in perifascicular clusters without myopathic changes. The second group (n = 6; 11%) was characterized by a high percentage (m = 18.1%) of fibers containing aggregates scattered in biopsy with chronic myopathic changes. Rebiopsy of 4 horses showed an increase with time in the number of aggregate-containing fibers for horses of the first group only. In 1 necropsied horse, aggregates were observed in a wide range of muscles including smooth muscles. Ultrastructurally, granular material was found interspersed among arrays of filamentous material.

Abstract
A 13–year-old neutered male lion was presented with a primary neoplasm arising from the left mandibular salivary gland associated with metastases to regional lymph nodes, thoracic viscera (lungs, heart, esophagus, and diaphragm), and kidney. Histologic and immunohistochemical investigations led to a diagnosis of a high-grade mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the mandibular salivary gland. In this case report, we point out the importance of the immunohistochemical characterization for differential diagnosis between various types of carcinomas of the salivary gland.

Abstract
Autoimmune diabetes has never been described in a juvenile dog, whereas serological evidence has established its development in adult dogs. Diabetes mellitus was diagnosed in a 3-mo-old Donge de Bordeaux dog suffering from persistent hyperglycemia and concurrent insulinopenia. Histological analysis of the pancreas revealed inflammatory lesions in 40% of the islets of Langerhans, with infiltration predominantly by T lymphocytes (more than 90%), either at the edge (peri-insulitis: 10%) or in the islets (insulitis: 30%). The remaining 60% of the islets showed a marked atrophy due to massive beta cell loss with no loss of alpha cells. This pattern is quite similar to that observed in humans in which a characteristic insulitis containing high numbers of T lymphocytes is found in 20% of the islets at diabetes diagnosis. By contrast, in rodent models, nearly 70% of the islets of Langerhans show inflammation at diagnosis and macrophages and dendritic cells predominate in the inflammatory lesions. This is the first report of lymphocytic insulitis in a juvenile dog exhibiting diabetes mellitus. Our observations suggest an autoimmune origin for the disease in this dog that is similar to human type 1 diabetes mellitus, for which there is no accurate spontaneous large animal model.

Abstract
The recent identification of genes responsible for several muscle diseases, particularly inherited myopathies, has made gene transfer to pathologic muscle tissue an attractive research field. As early pathologic changes in myopathic muscle involve repeated necrosis-regeneration cycles, leading to the coexistence of myofibers at different stages of maturity, a delivery system for efficient, durable gene therapy of inherited muscle diseases should allow gene transfer into myofibers at any stage of maturity. Experiments with rat skeletal muscles showed that recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) type 2 can be highly efficient and even improve gene transfer in regenerating as compared with mature muscle, provided that vector injection is performed during the myotube growth period of the regenerative process. At this early period of muscle regeneration, young regenerating myotubes strongly express heparan sulfate proteoglycan AAV type 2 receptor. Improvement was associated with a greater number of transduced myofibers in muscle samples and an increase in viral genomic copies in transduced muscle. No significant deleterious effects on muscle phenotype or any evident alterations in the regenerative process were observed in transduced muscles. Unlike other available viral vectors, whose transduction efficiencies are highly maturation-dependent, rAAV type 2-based vectors provide efficient in vivo gene transfer in myofibers at various stages of maturity, making AAV a promising delivery system for pathological muscle tissue.

Abstract
Golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD), a degenerative myopathy due to the absence of dystrophin, is genetically homologous to human Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Spontaneous death of GRMD neonates within the first 2 weeks of life occurs frequently. This report describes the microscopical muscle lesions that developed in 12 GRMD puppies aged 1-8 days of age, and makes a comparison with three normal age-matched siblings and two older GRMD dogs. Immunohistochemical methods were used to confirm dystrophin deficiency in GRMD puppies. Muscle lesions were assessed on sections stained with haematoxylin-eosin-saffron, Gomori's trichrome and alizarin red S, and their severity was graded semi-quantitatively. Muscle fibre types were determined immunohistochemically on the basis of the pattern of expression of developmental, slow and fast isoforms of myosin. Muscle lesions in the GRMD puppies were characterized by massive necrosis, affecting most muscles of the proximal limbs, trunk and neck at birth. Lingual lesions began to develop in utero, and respiratory muscles underwent terminal diffuse necrosis resulting in death from acute respiratory failure. However, GRMD puppies do not invariably die in the neonatal period. Muscle in 2-month-old GRMD dogs showed signs of regeneration (immunohistochemical immaturity of muscle tissue), which suggested that all GRMD dogs suffer from massive post-natal myonecrosis, whether fatal or not. Muscle lesions in neonates consisted mainly of hyalinization, hypertrophy, calcification and necrosis, followed by regeneration. Such "phase I" lesions due to the absence of dystrophin are found in all species in which dystrophin deficiency has been described (human beings, dogs, cats and mice), whereas the endomysial fibrosis and myofibre atrophy found in 2-month-old GRMD dogs constituted "phase II" lesions, which are specific to GRMD and human DMD.

Abstract
Lesions caused by the Côte d'Ivoire subtype of Ebola virus in a naturally infected young chimpanzee were characterized by histopathological and immunohistochemical methods. The predominant lesions consisted of multifocal necrosis in the liver and diffuse fibrinoid necrosis in the red pulp of the spleen. In these sites, macrophages contained large eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that macrophages were a major site of viral replication. The absence of bronchiolar and pulmonary lesions and the paucity of antigen-containing macrophages in the lung suggested that aerosol transmission by this animal was unlikely. There were necrotic foci and antigen-containing macrophages in intestinal lymph nodes, in association with lesions caused by intestinal parasites, suggesting the possibility of virus entry through the digestive tract.

Abstract
Sixteen juvenile Beagle dogs originating from a single breeding colony and regularly vaccinated against Leptospira interrogans (serogroups Canicola and Icterohaemorrhagiae) developed a clinical syndrome characterized by retarded growth, weight loss and often ascites. Over a 10-month period, post-mortem examinations were performed on all affected dogs. Gross lesions were confined to the liver which was often firm, tan-coloured and mottled. Microscopically, hepatic lesions ranged from those of severe chronic hepatitis to mild diffuse hepatocellular vacuolation, with bile stasis, occasional scattered lymphocytic aggregates and haemosiderin granulomas. Special stains and electron microscopy revealed spirochaetes within bile canaliculi. The genus Leptospira was recognized by immunohistochemical methods in nine dogs. Leptospires were isolated from six dogs, but serological tests failed to detect significant titres of antibody to L. interrogans in these animals. A serological survey of 37 kennelmates demonstrated that 20 dogs had high titres of serogroup Australis leptospiral antibody, which could not have resulted from vaccination. These findings strongly suggest a connection between the presence of leptospires and the hepatic lesions.

Abstract
Morphological features and the chronology of muscle changes after denervation were studied over a 21 d period in 2 heavy (HW) and light-weight (LW) strains of 6-wk-old male turkeys. The atrophy of tibialis cranialis, gastrocnemius lateralis and plantaris muscles was apparent at d 3 after denervation. By d 21 the weight of these muscles had reached 45-60% of that of nondenervated contralateral muscle. Cellular lesions, such as irregularities in mitochondrial distribution or coagulative necrosis with fragmentation and lysis associated with moderate infiltration of inflammatory cells, were similar in both strains. Ten days after denervation, immunolabelling of a proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expressed during the G1 and S phase of the cell cycle revealed satellite cell activation in denervated muscles. The number of satellite cells activated at d 21 was markedly greater in the HW than LW strain. Morphometric analysis revealed that fast twitch (type II) fibres were atrophied after denervation, whereas slow-twitch (type I) and slow tonic (type III) fibres were hypertrophied from d 10. Hypertrophy occurred more rapidly in the LW than HW strain.
