Eosinophil count in blood and histological sections of liver tissue from infected and control sheep. (A) Eosinophil count (% of total white blood cells) after microscopic examination of peripheral blood smears from the infected (INF-1, INF-2, INF-3 and INF-4) and control (CON-1, CON-2, CON-3 and CON-4) sheep. Normal range for eosinophils in sheep: 1-10%. (B) Average of eosinophil count from 10 fields at 400X in histology sections of each biological replicate from the infected and control groups. (C) Typical microscopic appearance (400X) of liver from the infected sheep at 8 weeks post infection, massive infiltration of inflammatory cells and deposition of collagen can be observed. (D) Normal architecture of the liver from control animals.
