This ever-changing educational endeavor has evolved into the annual Wednesday Slide Conference program in which cases are presented on 25 Wednesdays throughout the academic year and distributed to 135 contributing military and civilian institutions from around the world. Many of these institutions provide structured veterinary pathology resident training programs. During the course of the training year, histopathology slides, digital images, and histories from selected cases are distributed to the participating institutions and to the JPC Veterinary Pathology Service. Following the conferences, the case diagnoses, comments, and reference listings are posted online to all participants. This study set has been assembled in an effort to make Wednesday Slide Conference materials available to a wider circle of interested pathologists and scientists, and to further the education of veterinary pathologists and residents-in- training. The number of histopathology slides that can be reproduced from smaller lesions requires us to limit the number of participating institutions. For their participation and permission to use their cases in this study set, we wish to thank each institution, and especially the individuals who prepared and submitted the selected cases. A special note of appreciation is extended to the reviewers who helped edit and review this year’s individual case summaries: A final note of thanks goes to the moderators, who unselfishly gave of their time and expertise to help make each conference both enjoyable and educational. Gross images and photomicrographs were submitted by contributing institutions where indicated. Additional photomicrographs were taken by ii Joint Pathology Center WEDNESDAY SLIDE CONFERENCE 2013-2014 Table of Contents Conference 1 11 Sep 2013 Case JPC No. Slide No. Species Etiology/ Condition Tissue Page 1 4032712 12-236 Dog Epidermoid cyst Brain, 4th ventricle 1 2 4031864 10-461 Dog Emphysematous cystitis Urinary bladder 6 3 4032564 55860 Blackbuck Necrotizing enteritis (Etiology: Yersinia pseudotuberculosis) Small intestine 9 4 4032701 DR30 Rhesus Blastomycosis (Etiology: Blastomyces dermatitidis) Kidney macaque 13 Conference 2 18 Sep 2013 1 4033366 C1707 Dog Fungal myocarditis (Etiology: Scedosporium prolificans) Heart 16 2 4033380 NCAH 2013-2 Ox Mycobacteriosis Lung 20 3 4032817 N2012AFIP938 Rock Hyrax Ulcerative pharyngitis (Etiology: Hyrax herpesvirus) Pharynx 25 4 4017829 2105011 Dog Adenocarcinoma Pancreas 28 Conference 3 26 Sep 2013 1 4032910 04135-11 Cynomolgus Suppurative prostatitis (Etiology: Burkholderia Prostate gland 31 macaque pseudomallei) 2 4017832 DX12-72 Short-tailed Vegetative valvular endocarditis Heart 36 possum 3 4032440 PV00129C1 Dog Leishmaniasis (Etiology: Leishmania infantum) Kidney 39 4 4033559 G8745 Ring-tailed Hepatic necrosis (Etiology: Listeria monocytogenes) Liver 43 lemur Conference 4 9 Oct 2012 1 4032962 C13-122 Ferret Chordoma Fine needle aspirate of vertebral mass 47 2 4032703 N12-247 Rat snake Proliferative gastritis (Etiology: Cryptosporidium sp.)

  • Ostreid Herpesvirus Type 1 Replication and Host Response in Adult Pacific
    Segarra et al. Veterinary Research 2014, 45:103 http://www.veterinaryresearch.org/content/45/1/103 VETERINARY RESEARCH RESEARCH Open Access Ostreid herpesvirus type 1 replication and host response in adult Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas Amélie Segarra1, Laury Baillon1, Delphine Tourbiez1, Abdellah Benabdelmouna1, Nicole Faury1, Nathalie Bourgougnon2 and Tristan Renault1* Abstract Since 2008, massive mortality outbreaks associated with OsHV-1 detection have been reported in Crassostrea gigas spat and juveniles in several countries. Nevertheless, adult oysters do not demonstrate mortality in the field related to OsHV-1 detection and were thus assumed to be more resistant to viral infection. Determining how virus and adult oyster interact is a major goal in understanding why mortality events are not reported among adult Pacific oysters. Dual transcriptomics of virus-host interactions were explored by real-time PCR in adult oysters after a virus injection. Thirty-nine viral genes and five host genes including MyD88, IFI44, IkB2, IAP and Gly were measured at 0.5, 10, 26, 72 and 144 hours post infection (hpi). No viral RNA among the 39 genes was detected at 144 hpi suggesting the adult oysters are able to inhibit viral replication. Moreover, the IAP gene (oyster gene) shows significant up-regulation in infected adults compared to control adults. This result suggests that over-expression of IAP could be a reaction to OsHV-1 infection, which may induce the apoptotic process. Apoptosis could be a main mechanism involved in disease resistance in adults. Antiviral activity of haemolymph againstherpessimplexvirus(HSV-1)wasnotsignificantly different between infected adults versus control. Introduction infection of C.

However, only a few animal PVs have been investigated regard to their transformation properties. Oncogenic viruses Here, we investigate and compare the oncogenic potential of 2 ovine Delta and Dyokappa PVs, isolated from Sheep ovine skin lesions, in vitro and ex vivo. We demonstrate that both OaPV4 (Delta) and OaPV3 (Dyokappa) E6 and Skin E7 immortalize primary sheep keratinocytes and efficiently deregulate pRb pathway, although they seem unable Cellular immortalisation to alter p53 activity. Moreover, OaPV3 and OaPV4-E6E7 expressing cells show different shape, doubling time, and clonogenic activities, providing evidence for a stronger transforming potential of OaPV3 respect to OaPV4. Also, similarly to high-risk mucosal and cutaneous PVs, the OaPV3-E7 protein, constantly expressed in sheep squamous cell carcinomas, binds pRb with higher affinity compared to the E7 encoded by OaPV4, avirusas- sociated to fibropapilloma. Finally, we found that OaPV3 and OaPV4-E6E7 determine upregulation ofthepro- proliferative proteins cyclin A and cdk1 in both human and ovine primary keratinocytes.

  • Sublingual Pythiosis in a Cat Jessica Sonia Fortin1, Michael John Calcutt2 and Dae Young Kim1*
    Fortin et al. Acta Vet Scand (2017) 59:63 DOI 10.1186/s13028-017-0330-z Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica CASE REPORT Open Access Sublingual pythiosis in a cat Jessica Sonia Fortin1, Michael John Calcutt2 and Dae Young Kim1* Abstract Background: Pythiosis is a potentially fatal but non-contagious disease afecting humans and animals living in tropi- cal and subtropical climates, but is also reasonably widespread in temperate climates, throughout the world. The most commonly reported afected animal species with pythiosis are equine and canine, with fewer cases in bovine and feline. Extracutaneous infections caused by Pythium insidiosum have been rarely described in the cat. Case presentation: Sublingual pythiosis was diagnosed in a 2-year-old, male, Domestic Shorthair cat. The cat had a multilobulated, sublingual mass present for 3 months. Histopathological examination revealed severe multifocal coalescing eosinophilic granulomatous infammation. Centers of the infammation contained hyphae that were 3–7 μm-wide, non-parallel, uncommonly septate and rarely branching. The fungal-like organism was identifed as P. insid- iosum by polymerase chain reaction and subsequent amplicon sequencing. Conclusions: Only a few feline pythiosis cases have been reported and, when encountered, it usually causes granu- lomatous diseases of the skin or gastrointestinal tract. This case presents an unusual manifestation of feline pythiosis, representing the frst involving the oral cavity in cats or dogs.

  • A Case of Lupus Vulgaris Carmen D
    Symmetrically Distributed Orange Eruption on the Ears: A Case of Lupus Vulgaris Carmen D. Campanelli, BS, Wilmington, Delaware Anthony F. Santoro, MD, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Cynthia G. Webster, MD, Hockessin, Delaware Jason B. Lee, MD, New York, New York Although the incidence and morbidity of tuberculo- sis (TB) have declined in the latter half of the last decade in the United States, the number of cases of TB (especially cutaneous TB) among those born outside of the United States has increased. This discrepancy can be explained, in part, by the fact that cutaneous TB can have a long latency period in those individuals with a high degree of immunity against the organism. In this report, we describe an individual from a region where there is a rela- tively high prevalence of tuberculosis who devel- oped lupus vulgaris of the ears many years after arrival to the United States. utaneous tuberculosis (TB) is a rare manifes- tation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. C Scrofuloderma, TB verrucosa cutis, and lupus vulgaris (LV) comprise most of the cases of cutaneous TB. All 3 are rarely encountered in the United States. During the last several years, the incidence of TB has declined in the United States, but the incidence of these 3 types of cutaneous TB has increased in foreign-born individuals. This discrepancy can be ex- plained, in part, by the fact that TB can have a long latency period, especially in those individuals with a Figure 1.
