Figure 1

Intestine from a wild bull elephant, estimated at 20 years of age, Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary, India, 2007. Multiple white-to-tan discrete nodules (granulomas) are protruding from the serosal surface, and less well-defined areas of pale discoloration are visible within the intestinal wall. Serosal blood vessels are markedly dilated, tortuous, and congested.
