Protothecosis was diagnosed in 2 cats from Florida with nodular skin lesions. Microscopically, lesions were composed of macrophages and multinucleated giant cells arranged in solid sheets in the dermis and subcutis. In both cats, characteristic algal endospores identified as Prototheca wickerhamii were observed within the cytoplasm of infiltrating cells.
在佛罗里达州的2只患有结节性皮肤病变的猫身上诊断出原藻病。显微镜下，病变由巨噬细胞和多核巨细胞组成，这些细胞在真皮和皮下组织中呈实性片状排列。在这两只猫中，在浸润细胞的细胞质内均观察到特征性的藻类内生孢子，鉴定为威克海姆原藻。
