Abstract

Abstract : Eosinophilic intracytoplasmic neuronal inclusions resembling Negri bodies, but not associated with lyssaviral infection, were detected in the ventrolateral thalamus of a young‐adult, male red kangaroo ( Macropus rufus ). Similar neuronal inclusions, also with a regional distribution in the brain, have been reported as an incidental, possibly age‐related finding in other animal species.
