Histological signs include acanthosis, dyskeratosis, keratinization, and ballon degeneration of the bulbar conjunctival epithelium. Ultrastructural examination of biopsy material from five eyes of patients with SLK shows numerous nuclear changes in the conjunctival epithelial cells. These include abnormal distributio...

متن کاملMolecular diagnosis of Mycoplasma conjunctivae in an outbreak of infectious keratoconjunctivitis in sheep
Infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) is a painful, highly contagious ocular disease in sheep and goats. This study was carried out for identification and characterization of causative agent of ocular disease in a sheep flock consisting of 300 ewes in Mashhad, Iran. Several ocular swabs were taken from affected animals. The samples were pooled and processed in a laboratory for isolation of susp...
