Blackberry jam appearance of spleen is seen in animals died of | Agrigyan

• Pathological Hallmark of Anthrax: In ruminants dying of peracute or acute Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis), post-mortem examination reveals colossal splenomegaly (splenic enlargement up to 5–10 times normal size).
• 'Blackberry Jam' Spleen: The splenic capsule is tense and fragile; on incision, the dark, semi-fluid, liquified splenic red pulp oozes out as a soft, unstructured, tarry red-black mass resembling blackberry jam (or currant jelly), accompanied by incomplete rigor mortis, dark unclotted blood oozing from natural orifices, and absence of rigor mortis.
• Safety Caveat: Opening carcasses suspected of anthrax is strictly prohibited to prevent vegetative cells from sporulating upon air exposure.
