Pulmonary infections due to Aspergillus flavus in turkey poults and goslings

J O Okoye et al. Mycoses. 1989 Jul.

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.
