Wesselsbron Virus-Induced Hepatitis in Ewes and Lambs Unraveled Through Machine Learning-Driven Digital Histopathology. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Wesselsbron virus (WSLV) disease is an important neglected cause of hepatitis in ruminants with potential for zoonotic transmission, yet its histological lesions have been scarcely studied. We performed a thorough machine learning‐driven, pathologist‐led digital histopathological assessment of WSLV–induced hepatitis in ewes and lambs infected with ...
