The present work reports cerebellar degeneration in cattle associated with the ingestion of Solanum subinerme in northern Brazil. The main clinical signs were periodic crises with loss of balance, falls, opisthotonus, and nystagmus. The histological lesions consisted of diffuse vacuolation of the perikaryon of the Purkinje neurons, followed by the loss of these cells and their substitution by Bergman glia. It is concluded that S. subinerme is another species of Solanum that causes cerebellar degeneration in cattle.
本研究报告了巴西北部牛因摄入少花龙葵而出现的小脑变性。主要临床症状为周期性发作，伴有平衡失调、跌倒、角弓反张和眼球震颤。组织学病变包括浦肯野神经元胞体的弥漫性空泡化，随后这些细胞丢失并被伯格曼胶质细胞替代。结论是少花龙葵是另一种可导致牛小脑变性的茄属植物。
