A dog with forelimb lameness, bilateral retinal detachment, and hemorrhagic diarrhea, died. Necropsy demonstrated multifocal lesions in the skeletal musculature, myocardium, liver, thyroid glands, kidneys, eyes, and brain. Microscopically, the lesions contained numerous organisms and minimal cellular infiltrates. The morphologic and cultural characteristics of the organisms were similar to prototheca. The organisms in tissue sections reacted positively for Prototheca zopfii, using an indirect fluorescent antibody technique.
一只患有前肢跛行、双侧视网膜脱离和出血性腹泻的狗死亡。尸检显示骨骼肌、心肌、肝脏、甲状腺、肾脏、眼睛和大脑有多灶性病变。显微镜下，病变包含大量生物体和极少的细胞浸润。这些生物体的形态和培养特征与原藻相似。使用间接荧光抗体技术，组织切片中的生物体对魏氏原藻呈阳性反应。
