Tissue from a gull (Larus sp) from Wisconsin. (A) Diffusely the pericardium (star) is greatly expanded by fibrin, edema and necrotic debris (H&E). (B) Lymphoplasmacytic myositis (arrows) creating linear lesions along fascial planes of the pectoral skeletal muscle (H&E).

Photomicrographs of the plagiopatagium from a Little Brown Bat (Myotis lucifugus) captured live in Wyoming, U.S.A. (A) Adult nematodes (asterisks) are present in the dermis. They are filled with larval nematodes (arrowhead). The overlying epidermis is hyperplastic (arrow). H&E stain.
