Enhanced Asymptomatic Systemic Infection Caused by <i>Plesiomonas shigelloides</i> in a Captive Gray Wolf (<i>Canis lupus</i>)

A 7-year-old male gray wolf was found dead at a zoo during exhibition. To determine the cause of death, histological and gross necropsy diagnoses and a molecular analysis were performed. The gross necropsy revealed a swollen abdomen, hemorrhagic exudates around the mouth, splenomegaly, a discolored...
