Abortion in dairy cattle may be caused by infectious (viruses, fungi and protozoa) and non-infectious causes mostly related to bad management practices and genetic factors. Recently, the significant contribution of mycotic infection to bovine abortion has been recognized. This report describes an abortion case in a Chianina cow due to Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus luchuensis and Lichtheimia sp. diagnosed by histology, cytology, culture and molecular assays. A mixed infection due to more than one fungus in abortion is rarely demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first case of bovine abortion caused by co-infection with three different moulds.
奶牛流产可能由感染性（病毒、真菌和原生动物）和非感染性原因引起，主要与不良管理实践和遗传因素有关。最近，人们已经认识到真菌性感染对牛流产的重要贡献。本报告描述了一例由于烟曲霉、卢氏曲霉和亮菌属引起的奇亚纳奶牛流产病例，通过组织学、细胞学、培养和分子检测进行诊断。在流产中由一种以上真菌引起的混合感染很少见。据我们所知，这是首例由三种不同霉菌共同感染引起的牛流产病例。
