Macroscopic aspects of pneumonias of varied aetiology in harbour porpoises. A Bacterial pneumonia, a focal purple coloured lesion is present in the ventro-cranial part of the left lung. The white arrow points to the lesion. B Fungal pneumonia, a yellow sharply demarcated lesion is present at the caudal tip of the right lung. Insert shows lesion visible at cut surface. Arrows point to lesions. C Parasitic pneumonia, multiple nodules of less than 1cm diameter, some associated with a hyperaemic region surrounding or adjacent to the nodule are visible at the surface. Black arrows point to nodules, white arrow points to subpleural a scar caused by a calcified nematode. Insert shows lesion at cut surface, which is a poorly demarcated firm yellow nodule. Extensive gross and histologic description available in supplementary material.
