The Liver in Brucellosis

Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2007
Brucellosis involves the liver in varying ways, ranging from benign subclinical increases in serum aminotransferase levels to ominous chronic suppurative disease. Data on histopathology of the liver in brucellosis are scarce and contradictory. We sought to determine the liver histologic patterns present in a series of brucellosis patients and review ...

Long‐term seroepidemiology of European brown hare syndrome in European and Italian hares in Tuscany (Italy)

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We investigated the presence of European Brown Hare Syndrome (EBHS) in wild hare populations in the province of Grosseto (Italy) over a 16‐year period. The results showed that EBHS is widespread, with about two‐thirds of hares showing evidence of past infection. European hares were more frequently exposed than the rarer Italian hare.
