Prevalence of apoptotic epidermal keratinocytes in eosinophilic dermatoses of the cat: A retrospective light-microscopic study of 145 skin-biopsy specimens
A retrospective light-microscopic study was performed on skin-biopsy specimens from 145 cats with eosinophilic inflammatory dermatoses in order to determine the prevalence of apoptotic epidermal keratinocytes (AKs), the prevalence of eosinophils in close … -
Prevalence of feline immunodeficiency virus and feline leukaemia virus among client-owned cats and risk factors for infection in Germany
This study was conducted to determine prevalence and risk factors for retrovirus infection of infected cats in a large cat population in Germany by evaluation of 17,462 client-owned cats that were tested for the presence of feline immunodeficiency virus (… -
Low-Grade Alimentary Lymphoma: Clinicopathological Findings and Response to Treatment in 17 Cases
