On necropsy, mild to moderate enlargement of liver with pale, friable and fatty changes in appearance, and areas of haemorrhage and congestion were observed. The kidney was pale and slightly enlarged. Histologically, numerous eosinophilic and basophilic, round or irregular-shaped intranuclear inclusion bodies were observed in the hepatocytes. The hepatic parenchyma was moderately degenerated and necrotised.
