In this poignant portrait of Albert Melida's Saanen kid, the telltale signs of pink eye, or acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis, are evident in this close-up view of its straw-yard dwelling in Lancashire, England, February. The vivid redness and inflammation of the conjunctiva, as seen in the Transmission Electron Microscopy image C016 / 9387, reveal the viral infection that causes this common yet contagious disease among farm animals, and are spread quickly among herds, leading to significant economic losses and animal suffering. Prevention and early intervention through proper biosecurity measures, vaccination, and antibiotic treatment are crucial to mitigate its impact.
