Catalan term or phrase: B. FABRICI
I'm dealing with a Spanish/Catalan bilingual report on viruses in vet. med. The study has a table entitled "Mostres Rebudes" (samples received, I figured that out) that shows four columns. The first one has no heading, the second says "POT/S AMB/BOTE/S CON" (I understand that as well), and the third says "B. FABRICI/B. FABRICIO". Since the Spanish part makes no sense to me, I'd like to know what sense the Catalan part has. The fourth column is subdivided into two and simply says "D" above and "Q" below (I haven't figured that out either). Thanks for any help.

bursa of Fabricius
Explanation:
In birds, the bursa of Fabricius (Latin: Bursa cloacalis or Bursa fabricii) is the site of hematopoiesis, a specialized organ that, as first demonstrated by Bruce Glick and later by Max Cooper and Robert Good, is necessary for B cell (part of the immune system) development in birds. Mammals generally do not have an equivalent organ; the bone marrow is often both the site of hematopoiesis and B cell development.
