Description
Summary:Micromorphological changes in placenta tissues of tracker dogs spontaneously infected with Toxascaris leonina are studied. Microscopic study enables to esti-mate the following changes occurring in placenta: involutive changes, adaptive compensatory changes, blood flow disturbances and inflammations. As a result of conducted studies it was determined that T. leonina causes alternative processes in dogs' placenta: dystrophy of decidual cells, of choroid epithelium up to formation of necrosis; blood flow disorders at the utero-placental level; change of thickness of barrier between maternal and fetal blood circulation; immunopathological changes, not complete adaptive compensatory processes. The above mentioned changes result in hypotrophy and hypoxia of fetus.
