The olfactory epithelium houses chemosensory neurons, which transmit odor information from the nose to the brain. In adult mammals, the olfactory epithelium is a uniquely robust neuroproliferative zone, with the ability to replenish its neuronal and non-neuronal populations due to the presence of ge

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science 76(6), 931-935, 2014
… Raised lesions were present on the left nasal vestibule of a 20-month-old Japanese Brown heifer. … The largest mass which caused partial nasal obstruction was removed surgically. … Rod-shaped Gram-positive organisms were detected with metachromatic granules, producing diphtheria toxin with 5, 30 and 48 amino acid differences to another C. … The lesion was therefore judged to be an allergic reaction to bacterial antigens or diphtheria toxin. …
