The Comparative Pathogenesis of Some Enteric Diseases. Based on Cases Presented at the 22nd Annual Seminar of the American College of Veterinary Pathologists
Basic reactions of the intestinal tract to injury are discussed using cases presented at the American College of Veterinary Pathologists' Seminar on Intestinal Pathology. Reports of the individual cases are cited in the text. Material reported during discussions is presented to preserve something of the tenor of the Seminar. First, the morphogenesis of the lesions in each case will be discussed, followed by the resultant functional changes related to clinical signs, and comparisons to other similar diseases.
