  • Clinical signs:
    • Muscle pain
    • Fever
    • Weakness, particularly in hind limbs
  • Grossly:
    • Inflammation is accompanied by muscle necrosis and regeneration

Bovine and ovine eosinophilic myositis

  • Unknown aetiology
  • Major cell involved is eosinphil
  • Usually noticed at slaughter - green muscle discoloration
