摘要: Aspergillus spp. are opportunistic pathogens which cause pulmonary aspergillosis in animals and humans with compromised immune systems. Two Eurasian black vultures (Aegypius monachus Linnaeus) were found dead or clinically ill from carbofuran insecticide during the winter of 2004. Carbofuran was detected stomach contents by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry. Gross lesions showed severe granulomatous pneumonia serofibrinous pleuropneumonia both birds, most restricted to system. Histological included pyogranulomatous suppurative parabronchiolitis/pleuritis/air sacculitis a number septated fungal hyphae, suggesting aspergillosis. Fungal isolates each vulture identified as fumigatus lactophenol cotton blue staining genetic analysis. This is first report caused A. wild suggests that infection could be an important death these birds migrate Mongolia Korea winter. The incidence disease may related impaired immunity directly indirectly poisoning.
