Histopathologic findings in Australian wobbly possum disease cases (hematoxylin and eosin). a Focal gliosis (black asterix), non-suppurative cellular infiltrates distending the leptomeninges (white asterix), and surrounding blood vessels (black arrowhead) within the brainstem. b Lymphocytes, plasma cells and scattered macrophages around a neural blood vessel. c Non-suppurative infiltrates in retrobulbar adipose tissue (black arrow), the perineurium of the optic nerve (black arrow head), and the scleral perivascular space (white arrow head). Retinal atrophy with an acellular ganglion cell layer (black asterix and inset). d Distention of the choroid layer with non-suppurative inflammation (arrow). e Optic nerve with Wallerian degeneration, illustrated by a macrophage within an axonal chamber (black arrowhead), and a non-suppurative perivascular infiltrate (white arrowhead)
