Histological Lesions and Cellular Response in the Skin of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra r. rupicapra) Spontaneously Affected by Sarcoptic Mange

Figure 2

Immunohistochemical staining of skin of control, trombiculosis, and mange affected chamois. Scanty T lymphocytes (CD3⁺ cells) and macrophages (CD68⁺ cells) and very rare B lymphocytes (CD79α⁺ cells) are evident in control chamois. Focal inflammatory infiltration with a prevalence of macrophages is evident in trombiculosis-affected chamois. A prevalence of macrophages and T lymphocytes is evident in all three groups of sarcoptic mange affected chamois. DAB chromogen and haematoxylin counterstain. Bar = 100 μm.
