摘要: Systemic toxoplasmosis caused by Toxoplasma gondii was diagnosed in two juvenile, captive flying-foxes (Pteropus conspicillatus and P. scapulatus), which died following respiratory distress. One animal displayed clinical signs suggestive of neurological disease. This is the first report this disease megachiropteran bats adds to list differential diagnoses for both systemic these animals. The role captivity exposure development discussed.
