Abstract

An immunofluorescence staining system was developed for the identification of mycelial fungi causing systemic mycoses in cattle. Antisera to Absidia corymbifera, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger were raised in rabbits. Tissue sections of experimentally infected mice were used to determine the specificity of immune staining with antisera that had been absorbed with heterologous antigens. When 46 lesions from 22 cattle with systemic mycosis were studied, the infecting agent could be classified as a zygomycete, possibly A. corymbifera, in 18 lesions (15 cattle), A. fumigatus in 10 lesions (7 cattle) and both a zygomycete and A. fumigatus in a single lesion from one animal. Diagnosis was established by light microscopy in 13 (72%) of the 18 lesions classified as zygomycosis. Conversely, a dual infection with both a zygomycete and an Aspergillus species was suspected on the basis of morphology in nine of the 10 lesions reacting exclusively and uniformly with anti-A. fumigatus antiserum. A. fumigatus may be a more frequent aetiological agent of systemic mycosis in cattle than hitherto recognized on the basis of light microscopy and mycological culture.

Aspergillosis (ASM)

Aspergillosis is the name given to a wide variety of diseases caused by infection by fungi of the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems. Chronic colonization or infection can cause complications in people with underlying respiratory illnesses. Discover the latest research on aspergillosis here.

Candidiasis

Candidiasis is a common fungal infection caused by Candida and it can affect many parts for the body including mucosal membranes as well as the gastrointestinal, urinary, and respiratory tracts. Here is the latest research.
