Representative gross necropsy lesions from nonhuman primates experimentally infected with Lassa virus. (A) Enlargement and moderate congestion of mesenteric lymph nodes (arrows) at day 15. (B) Accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity of a cynomolgus monkey 17 days after infection with Lassa virus. (C) Reticulation and discoloration of the liver 15 days after infection with Lassa virus. (D) Multifocal red foci that microscopically corresponded with inflammation on the mucosal surface of the urinary bladder at day 15. (E) Congestion/hemorrhage of the cecum occurring at day 15. The cecum is opened up and the ileum extends outward from the cecum; arrow indicates the ileocecal junction.
