“…These changes may now be considered pathognomonic for grass sickness (Gilmour, 1973;Howell, Baker & Ritchie, 1974). One electron microscopic study of grass sickness ganglia was carried out using material fixed some considerable time after death (Chandler & Brownlee, 1967). These authors observed neuronal cytoplasmic vacuolation and attributed it to mitochondria1 alteration.…”

Chromatolysis and axonal dystrophy in the autonomic nervous system in grass sickness of equidaeLight and electron microscopic examinations of autonomic ganglia from cases of grass sickness have been carried out. The main alterations are pyknosis, cytoplasmic vacuolation originating from granular endoplasmic reticulum, and axonal dystrophy. The cell body changes bear some resemblance to chromatolysis.
