On Postmortem examinations, livers showed haemorrhagic tracts and covered with gray fibrous plaque. Lung of the one deer were found congested with variable-sized atelectatic and emphysematous areas. Microscopically, liver sections showed necrosis and wide spread haemorrhages with cut sections of flukes and mononuclear cell reaction in parenchyma.
