Scanning electron microscopy of adenomatous intestinal tissue in the blue fox revealed an irregular surface topography of the colon with increased diameter of the crypt openings and prominent ridge formations between crypts. The ileum showed villous atrophy and fusion. Microvilli were short and irregular. Small ulcerations of intestinal mucosa were seen. Freeze-fracture revealed curved intracellular organisms in the altered epithelial cells. Transmission electron microscopy showed features associated with immaturity and high protein synthesis. Filamentous extensions from the basolateral plasma membrane of altered epithelial cells sometimes penetrated the basal lamina. The cytoplasm contained numerous polyribosomes, nuclei had many indentations and large and irregular nucleoli. Intracellular bacteria, with morphology corresponding to Campylobacter spp. were found in the apical epithelial cytoplasm. No host-cell-derived membrane was seen to surround the bacteria.
