Fig. 3. Histomoniasis, liver, turkey
poult. Initial organization of a necrotic
focus in the liver. A wreath of
foreign-body giant cells (arrow – a)
in the periphery of necrotic area.
Parasites (arrow – b) are also seen
on the tissue cross-section. H/E, Bar
= 35 µm.

Fig. 4. Regenerative reparative processes
at a later stage of the organization
of a hepatic necrotic focus
in a turkey poult. Histomonas forms
(arrows) are still visible. H/E, Bar = 40
