Abstract

In this study, Aspergillus fumigatus infection in a flock of near 80 pigeons, was described in terms of clinical, microbiological and histopathological aspects. At the clinical examinations were determined inappetance, green watery diarrhea, vomiting, weakness, lethargy, dyspnea, seromucous discharge from nostrils and death. The lungs showed multiple pinhead- size yellowish to grayish nodules at the necropsy examinations of pigeons. Histology demonstrated hyphae characteristic of Aspergillus was recovered as Aspergillus fumigatus in microbiological examination of culture. The clinical symptoms have been observed to improve by adding nystatin (Mikostatin® oral suspension 100.000 IU/ml, Bristol-Myers squibb) to drinking water at 500.000 IU/L doses, twice in 15 days except for 3 days.

Özet

Bu çalışma ile yaklaşık 80 güvercinin olduğu bir sürüde A. fumigatus enfeksiyonu klinik, mikrobiyolojik ve histopatolojik olarak belirlendi. Güvercinlerde klinik olarak iştahsızlık, zayıflama, yeşil sulu ishal, kusma, halsizlik, solunum güçlüğü, seromüköz burun akıntısı ve ölüm belirlendi. Ölen güvercinlerin nekropsi muayenesinde akciğer lobları üzerinde çok sayıda toplu iğne başı büyüklüğünde sarımsı-gri renkli nodüller gözlendi. Nodüllerde Aspergillus’un karakteristik hifaları belirlendi ve kültürün mikrobiyolojik muayenesinde Aspergillus fumigatus olduğu tanımlandı. Tedavi amacıyla içme sularına 15 gün ara ile üç gün nistatin, (Mikostatin® oral süspansiyon 100.000 IU/ml, Bristol-Myers squibb) 500.000 IU/L dozunda uygulandığında klinik bulguların düzeldiği belirlendi.
