Characteristic observations in Shamonda virus–positive malformed calves, southern Japan, 2015–2016. A) Torticollis and arthrogryposis in calf 3. B) Spinal curvature (scoliosis) in calf 7. C) Perivascular infiltration in the midbrain of calf 7. D) Fatty replacement and atrophy in skeletal muscle of calf 3. For histopathologic analysis, thin sections prepared from paraffin-embedded tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Scale bars indicate 50 μm.
