Figure 5. Microscopic lung lesions of swine infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) belonging to the goose/Guangdong 2.3.4.4b hemagglutinin phylogenetic clade. A) Perivascular mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate (arrowheads) and suppurative bronchiolitis (arrows) in the lung of pig 777 infected with A/turkey/MN/22 necropsied at 3 days postinoculation (dpi). B) Peribronchiolar mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate (arrowhead), suppurative bronchiolitis (arrow), necrotizing bronchiolitis and bronchitis (chevrons), and alveolar luminal accumulation of cellular debris (asterisk) in the lung of pig 796 infected with A/bald eagle/FL/22 necropsied at 5 dpi. C) Peribronchiolar mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate (arrowheads), suppurative bronchiolitis (arrows), and necrotizing bronchiolitis and bronchitis (chevrons) in the lung of pig 58 infected with A/raccoon/WA/22 necropsied at 3 dpi. D) Peribronchiolar and peribronchial mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate (arrowheads), suppurative bronchiolitis (arrow), and necrotizing bronchiolitis and bronchitis (chevrons) in the lung of pig 78 infected with A/redfox/MI/22 necropsied at 3 dpi. Hematoxylin & eosin stain; original magnification ×40.
