Aspergillosis in peacocks – Case Report Edina Sesztáková Vladimír Vrabec Katarína Kuzyšinová Ladislav Molnár Zuzana ŠevčíkováEva Čonková<p>The work describes two cases of Indian peacocks (Pavo cristatus) originating from extensive breeding, in which pulmonary aspergillosis and aerosacculitis were diagnosed. A clinical examination revealed difficult breathing with an open beak, gradual apathy, decreased appetite, and weight loss in both affected individuals. During the endoscopic examination, a yellow, caseous mass was diagnosed in the area of ​​the margo caudalis of the lung. Pathological autopsy in both cases revealed a granuloma in the area of ​​the left lung parenchyma and aerosacculitis. Fungal hyphae were detected in the granulomas by pathological-histological examination, and Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus parasiticus were diagnosed by mycological culture.</p> International Journal of Veterinary Science and Research - Peertechz Publications 2022-11-15 Case Report https://doi.org/10.17352/ijvsr.000127 en Copyright © Edina Sesztáková et al.
