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