Classification of histological parameters according to the intensity of occurrence: − absence; + discrete; ++ moderate; +++ intense; and ++++ very intense. Histopathological damage was assessed as explained under Materials and Methods on days 7, 14, and 21 of the lesion. vs. INFCTD-HMLT and INFCTD-CNM groups.
