Caption:
From the “Illustrated Manual for the Recognition and Diagnosis of Certain Animal Diseases”, published in 1982, by the Mexico-United States Commission for the Prevention of Foot and Mouth Disease, this photograph, which is a closer view of PHIL 12910, was captured at a bovine necropsy, and depicts a cut-section of lung tissue, revealing how the interlobular septa had become distended with fibrinous connective tissue, demarcating lobules in various stages of hepatization. This is a typical pleural phenomenon in a contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) infection. The appearance of this lung tissue is sometime referred to as marbled lung disease.
