atypical presentation is the most common form of celiac disease (cd). although the terminologies like latent, silent and potential have expressed different aspects of clinical and pathological behaviour of cd, they also have contributed in some extent to confusion between clinicians and patients due to the multiple definitions and uncertainty around them. in the light of new advances and the di...

ABSTRACT: This study assessed microscopic morphology of protozoan and metazoan parasites, as well parasite-associated histopathologic changes in five Brazilian free-ranging armadillos. Three armadillos had intra sarcolemmal cysts Sarcocystis sp. skeletal muscles without changes. One Dasypus novemcinctus was found parasitized with a nematode morphologically compatible an oxyurid the small intest...

Human Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD) is of unquestioned importance in humans, and has been a not-uncommon cause of enteric disease in horses, dogs, and ratites. Over the past 5 years, C. difficile has emerged as a major cause of neonatal enteritis in pigs. Piglets 1-7 days of age are affected, with gross lesions frequently including mesocolonic edema. Colonic contents may be pa...

Transmissible enteritis is a turkey disease of viral aetiology. The disease has been described in the United States and Canada, and a similar clinical syndrome has been observed in Australia. Histological changes in the intestine have been described (Adams, Ball and Hofstad, 1970), including shortened microvilli, slight oedema, a decrease in argentafhn cells and an increase followed by a decrea...
