Sheep pulmonary adenomatosis (jaagsiekte) in the United States. 1982

R C Cutlip, and S Young

Morphologic features of 8 cases of sheep pulmonary adenomatosis in the United States are described. All cases were studied by light microscopy and 1 case, by electron microscopy. The common finding in all sheep was an adenoma composed of fetal type II alveolar epithelial cells. The stroma closely resembled interalveolar septa in most areas. In other areas, there was excessive collagenous or myxomatous tissue. Metastatic tumor in mediastinal lymph nodes of 2 sheep closely resembled tumor in the lung. A virus with cultural and structural characteristics like those of ovine progressive pneumonia virus was isolated from the lungs of 1 sheep, but neither virions nor viral inclusions were seen in the pulmonary parenchyma.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008168	Lung	Either of the pair of organs occupying the cavity of the thorax that effect the aeration of the blood.	Lungs
D008297	Male		Males
D008854	Microscopy, Electron	Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen.	Electron Microscopy
D011648	Pulmonary Adenomatosis, Ovine	A contagious, neoplastic, pulmonary disease of sheep characterized by hyperplasia and hypertrophy of pneumocytes and epithelial cells of the lung. It is caused by JAAGSIEKTE SHEEP RETROVIRUS.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
