Let me get the detailed information

@Abjihit Mitra, Thank you Dr. Mitra for your interest in our project. I am happy to provide any additional details that you might need. The micrographs are all of tissue samples collected from a group of patients with a similar “syndrome” including blood in the urine, numerous small, tender, subcutaneous nodules, and lethargy. Despite thorough medical work up, no known cause of their symptoms could be determined. The only unusual finding was the presence of filaments and sharp-edged objects in the sediment of the urine, in filtered whole blood, and in sterile aspirates of the subcutaneous nodules. The objects are very sm The unusual objects often had a strong birefringence and many complex, but repeatable shapes were visible in the tissues of the affected animals, but not in healthy controls. After consulting with several veterinary pathologists and parasitologists we were unable to match the objects to any known parasites. Some of the veterinarians in the group doing this research thought that the objects/fibers resembled larval stages of polychaete or mollusc-like animals. So we are posting to the research community familiar with those species to see if we can gain insight into what type of eukaryote might be acting as a parasite in this particular group of animals. We suspect there may be a selective immunodeficiency in the affected animals which permits the host to maintain such an unusual infection.
