Abstract
A penguin (Eudyptula minor) from Tasmania, Australia, died following a 3-day illness. The liver and spleen parenchyma contained grossly visible foci of discoloration. Numerous tachyzoites of Toxoplasma gondii were seen associated with necrosis in sections of liver and spleen. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining of parasites. This apparently is the first report of fatal toxoplasmosis in a penguin.
摘要
一只来自澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚岛的企鹅（小企鹅属）在患病三天后死亡。肝脏和脾脏实质内有肉眼可见的变色病灶。在肝脏和脾脏切片中发现大量与坏死相关的刚地弓形虫速殖子。通过对寄生虫进行免疫组织化学染色确诊。这显然是企鹅发生致命性弓形虫病的首例报告。
