*Ascariasis
*''''milk spot' liver'''
*pigs
*common incidental finding at post mortem examination
*affected [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|livers]] are condemned at meat inspection
======Gross======
*initial haemorrhagic tracts through the [[Liver - Anatomy & Physiology|liver]] attributed to the migration of ascarid larvae
*later stages show fibrosis of these tracts as poorly defined, diffuse, white spots on the capsular surface
======Microscopically======
*initial haemorrhage and necrosis of parenchyma along the tracts
*later repair by fibrous tissue at foci
*inflammatory cell response contains many [[Eosinophils - WikiBlood|eosinophils]], as well as [[Lymphocytes - WikiBlood|lymphocytes]] and [[Macrophages - WikiBlood|macrophages]]
