The ileum of affected hamsters bore microvilli which were much shorter, less regularly arranged and less densely packed than those from control animals. Organelle derangements such as atrophy of mitochondria, degranulation and dilated cisterna of endoplasmic reticulum, were observed. Some hyperplastic epithelial cells contained multiple intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies and amyloid deposits were present extracellularly.
