Question
Answer
animal necropsy ectoparasites   commonly ticks, fleas, lice, and chiggers found under the chin, in the ears, and near the anus most often  
🗑
animal necropsy subcutaneous tissue parasites   lesions or evidence of encysted parasites like nematodes. Sarcocysts, white cysts, may be in muscle tissue and "worm tracks" may occur in connective tissue. Flukes are found in the anal glands of some carnivores.  
🗑
animal necropsy signs of internal parasite infection   white cysts in liver tissue, enlargement or discoloration of the spleen, raised white cysts on the surface of tissues of any organs  
🗑
