Mycoses
J O OkoyeC N Okeke

Abstract

Two outbreaks of pulmonary aspergillosis involving a flock of 66 turkey poults and a group of 12 gosling are described. The lungs showed multiple yellowish to greyish nodules. Histology demonstrated hyphae characteristic of Aspergillus and A. flavus was recovered in culture. Sections of liver showed features of aflatoxicosis. Cultures of samples of litter and feed yielded A. flavus in quantity. Representative isolates from lung lesions, litter and feed were found to produce aflatoxin B1.

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.
