Reemerging of Encephalomyocarditis Virus in Pigs in Brazil: Pathological and Viral Characterization

<div>Microscopic findings of the myocardium of pigs naturally infected by EMCV. (a) Myocardium showing severe multifocal to coalescent inflammation associated with proliferation of fibrous connective tissue (fibrosis) and some areas of intense basophilic material (mineralization) are observed. Pig 2, Farm B, hematoxylin and eosin (HE), 200x. (b) Higher magnification of the myocardium demonstrating the inflammatory infiltrate of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and macrophages with fibrosis and mineralization. Pig 2, Farm B, HE, 400x.</div>
