From: Detection of a novel circovirus PCV3 in pigs with cardiac and multi-systemic inflammation
Heart pathology, case 1. a The myocardium is multifocally infiltrated by moderate numbers of lymphocytes, macrophages and plasma cells. H&E stain. b The tunica media and adventitia of a cardiac arteriole are infiltrated by a similar inflammatory infiltrate, and lining endothelial cells are hypertrophic/hyperplastic. H&E stain. c PCV3-US/MO2015 mRNA was demonstrated by ISH in the sarcoplasm of a cardiac myocyte. Hematoxylin counterstain. d and e PCV3-US/MO2015 mRNA was demonstrated by ISH in the cytoplasm of inflammatory cells infiltrating the myocardium (presumably macrophages). Hematoxylin counterstain. f PCV3-US/MO2015 mRNA was demonstrated by ISH in the cytoplasm of a leiomyocyte in the tunica media of the inflamed cardiac arteriole shown in Fig. 1b. Hematoxylin counterstain
