Abstract. In the article results of researches on revealing of pathological changes with the subsequent definition of their micromorphometric characteristics in organs of sight at cats with the confirmed diagnosis of a panleukopenia are resulted. The necessary characteristic of the causative agent of the disease is given and some of the known macroscopic pathomorphological changes in the organs of vision of animals are indicated. The peculiarity of the article is an opportunity to assess the degree of influence of the Virus panleukopenia feline on certain structural components of the organs of vision. The importance of research results is determined, among other things, by the fact that panleukopenia often affects not only domestic cats, but also tigers, leopards, cheetahs, panthers, skunks, minks, raccoon ferrets and representatives of some other animal species. The research hypothesis presupposes the need to detect any, even little-noticeable pathological changes in the ocular system of animals under the influence of the Virus panleukopenia feline, followed by a quantitative assessment of structural disorders. This makes it possible to optimize the process of complex diagnosis, panleukopenia in susceptible animals, and also provides an opportunity to refine the treatment regimens to achieve the best result. The article presents an analysis of the results of solving such problems as the study of pathohistological changes in the cornea and in the vascular zone in cats with a confirmed diagnosis of panleukopenia with the establishment of micromorphometric indicators of the revealed pathologies. The scientific novelty and uniqueness of the article is that despite a significant number of domestic and foreign author’s publications, information on pathomorphological changes observed in cats’ visions in this disease, including their micromorphometric characteristics, is practically not available in the available literature. At the same time, the study of poorly studied manifestations of panleukopenia at the pathohistological level is an important link in the development of modern methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of this disease. The result of the work was the establishment of hemodynamic disorders in the eyesight of panleukopenia in the form of edema, intracapillary accumulations of erythrocytes, micronecrosis of muscle tissue of the ciliated body and moderately expressed diffuse lymphoid infiltrates of the corneal matter. As areas of future research should be indicated the possibility of using the developed algorithm for studying the changes in other diseases, as well as expanding the methods used in accordance with specific cases of pathologies.
Keywords: panleukopenia, the organs of sight, pathohistology, micronecrosis, swelling, redness.
