title: [Fasciolosis in European hares (Lepus europaeus) in North-Western Germany].
abstract: In this case report pathomorphological findings of acute and chronic stages of fasciolosis are described in a European hare (Lepus europaeus) hunted in NorthWestern Germany. Acute hepatic lesions consisted of coagulation necrosis with haemorrhages and surrounding infiltrations of granulocytes and histiocytes. Subacute to chronic changes were characterized predominantly by pyogranulomatous inflammations with extensive fibrosis. Adult parasites and eggs were detectable.
