Pathomorfological changes in the wild Amur tiger with lymphoma

The staff of Primorsk state agricultural academy for the first time revealed and described clinical and pathological and anatomical changes in the Amur tiger withdrawn from the wild nature for the purpose of the clinical symptoms analysis, cytomorphological and pathomorfological changes of bodies of the Amur tiger with lymphoma. As the material for research the corpse of a male of the Amur tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) at the age of 7-8 years delivered from the Amur region served. As a result of the conducted clinical, pathological and anatomical and hystomorfological trials of the Amur tiger it was established that the tiger’s death occurred from paralysis of the respiratory center due to asphyxia which developed as the result of inflammatory and proliferative processes, characteristic of the mixed form of the cats’ mixed lymphoma.
