Abstract

A case of aspergillosis was observed in a flock of 5~10 days old commercial domestic ducks in Jeongeup. The clinical signs were depression and breathing by gasping or rapid opening of the bill. Grossly, lung was attached to pleura with white cheesy plaques. Numerous nodules was found in lung. Histopathologically, severe granulomatous pneumonia with intralesional fungal hypha were observed in the lung. Aspergillus spp. colonies was isolated from fungal culture and identified by polymer chain reaction.
