Pathologic findings included erosiveulcerative stomatitis, fibrino-necrotic tracheitis, bronchointerstitial pneumonia, multifocal coagulation necroses in the liver, and severe lymphocytolysis in lymphoid tissues. Syncytial cells were conspicuous, especially in the oral mucosa, pulmonary alveoli, liver, and lymphoid tissues. In addition to the typical tissue distribution, eosinophilic intracytoplasmic and\/or intranuclear inclusions were observed in epithelial cells lining the renal pelvis and abomasal mucosa. Immunolabeling of the viral antigen was observed in the kidney, brain, rumen, abomasum, heart, and myocytes of the tongue besides its more typical locations. In this study, we report and describe in detail the first peste des petits ruminants endemic in Kirikkale Province, Central Anatolia of Turkey. In conclusion, these previously unreported pathologic findings in natural peste des petits ruminants virus infection establish a basis for resemblance to other morbillivirus infections, such as canine distemper and distemper of sea mammals. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analyses indicated that the 448-bp genome fragment was amplified in 18 cases (18\/21, 85.7%). Phylogenetic analysis showed that viruses belong to lineage 4 in the peste des petits ruminants virus common phylogenetic tree. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1354\/vp.44-4-479","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,2]],"date-time":"2007-07-02T15:56:15Z","timestamp":1183391775000},"page":"479-486","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Natural Peste des Petits Ruminants Virus Infection: Novel Pathologic Findings Resembling Other Morbillivirus Infections"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"O.","family":"Kul","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Kirikkale University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yahsihan, Kirikkale, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N.","family":"Kabakci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Kirikkale University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Yahsihan, Kirikkale, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"H.
