Examples of different scores of CD3+ cell infiltration in placentomes from N. caninum -inoculated animals. (a) Score 0: no infiltration of CD3+ cells in a placentome of a negative control cow. Counterstained with haematoxylin. Original magnification 100×. (b) Score 1: minimal infiltration of CD3+ cells in the maternal caruncles surrounding some necrotic foetal villi in the placentome of a N. caninum-inoculated cow culled 14 dpi. Counterstained with haematoxylin. Original magnification 100×. (c) Score 2: mild infiltration of CD3+ cells surrounding area of detachment of fetal trophoblast and mesenchyme of the maternal caruncle of the placentome of an inoculated cow culled 14 dpi. Counterstained with haematoxylin. Original magnification 100×. (d) Score 3: focal aggregation of CD3+ cells surrounding focal necrotic area in the maternal caruncle of the placentome of an inoculated cow culled 14 dpi. Counterstained with haematoxylin. Original magnification 100 × .
