This can be seen in retrospective case studies of recent zoonoses such as multinucleated syncytial giant cells in severe acute respiratory syndrome and mouse hepatitis virus infection, syncytial cells in Henipahvirus infection and paramyxovirus, neuronal vacuolation in bovine spongiform encephalopathy and variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and Streptococcus suis type 2 meningitis. Among diagnostic tools, anatomic pathology is effective in recognizing or excluding infectious diseases based on morphological changes in organs in affected species [3] [4] [5] . Retrospective case studies of recently occurring zoonoses reflect the importance of diagnostic pathology with its use of morphologic similarities in disease diagnosis. We believe that comparative pathology will play an important role in the diagnosis, surveillance and control of unpredictable emerging and re-emerging zoonoses. ./cache/cord-277181-rvjvuxor.txt ./txt/cord-277181-rvjvuxor.txt
