Disseminated visceral coccidiosis (DVC) was unexpectedly recognized in a wild white-naped crane (Grus vipio) killed by phosphamidon insecticide. On gross pathologic examination, widely disseminated white nodules were found on the serosa of the pro-ventriculus, gizzard, and intestine, as well as on the surface and in the parenchyma of liver, spleen, and cardiac muscle. Microscopically, asexual stages of a coccidia were observed in some nodules. However, the species of coccidia could not be determined because no oocysts were found on fecal examination. This is believed to be the first reported case of DVC in a wild white-naped crane infected with Eimeria spp.
在一只被磷胺杀虫剂毒死的野生白枕鹤(Grus vipio)身上意外发现了播散性内脏球虫病(DVC)。大体病理检查时,在前胃、肌胃和肠道的浆膜以及肝脏、脾脏和心肌的表面及实质中发现了广泛分布的白色结节。显微镜下,在一些结节中观察到了球虫的无性阶段。然而,由于粪便检查未发现卵囊,所以无法确定球虫的种类。据信,这是首次报道的感染艾美耳属球虫的野生白枕鹤发生播散性内脏球虫病的病例。
