Abstract

In a naturally occurring outbreak in which all clinically affected birds died, microsporidian infection was confirmed by histological examination and electron microscopy. The parasites were identified in the kidney, liver and small intestine. A severe nephropathy was accompanied in some cases by liver lesions. The inflammatory response in both tissues was minimal and none was observed in the intestine.

摘要

在一次自然发生的疫情中，所有出现临床症状的禽类均死亡，通过组织学检查和电子显微镜检查确诊为微孢子虫感染。在肾脏、肝脏和小肠中发现了这些寄生虫。部分病例中，严重的肾病伴有肝脏病变。两个组织中的炎症反应轻微，在肠道中未观察到炎症反应。
