View Larger Picture	Photo #: EHD_001 Description: Deer, rumen and reticulum. The serosal surface of the rumen has fine linear to coalescing hemorrhages, and there is extensive congestion and hemorrhage of the ruminal and reticular mucosa. Credit: Dr. E. Howerth, University of Georgia, Department of Veterinary Pathology
View Larger Image	Photo #: EHD_002 Description: Deer, abomasum. Mucosal folds are diffusely thickened by edema and contain multifocal, sharply-demarcated, red-brown areas of ulceration and hemorrhage. Credit: Dr. E. Howerth, University of Georgia, Department of Veterinary Pathology
View Larger Image	Photo #: EHD_003 Description: Deer, lungs and trachea. There is moderate to marked widening of interlobular septa (edema). The tracheal mucosa is diffusely congested and contains several blood clots, and there are a few small pleural hemorrhages. Credit: Dr. E. Howerth, University of Georgia, Department of Veterinary Pathology
View Larger Image	Photo #: EHD_004 Description: Deer, pulmonary artery and lungs. Locally extensive adventitial hemorrhage at the base of the pulmonary artery is considered pathognomonic for EHD and bluetongue in ruminants. Lungs contain many red areas (congestion and hemorrhage).

View Larger Image	Photo #: EHD_006 Description: Deer, lungs. Interlobular septa are severely expanded by edema. The mediastinal bulla likely resulted from terminal dyspnea. Credit: Dr. E. Howerth, University of Georgia, Department of Veterinary Pathology
