The sudden death occurred of a captive Estuarine crocodile hatchling (Crocodylus porosus). On autopsy, granuloma-like lesions were seen in the liver, left lung and spleen, and branching, septate fungal hyphae were observed in sections of liver and spleen. The fungus isolated from the liver showed characteristics of both Paecilomyces lilacinus and Paecilomyces marquandii but was closer to the former species. This is apparently the first report of the isolation of this fungus from a reptile in Australia.
一只圈养的湾鳄幼鳄突然死亡。尸检时，在肝脏、左肺和脾脏中发现了肉芽肿样病变，并且在肝脏和脾脏切片中观察到了分支、有隔膜的真菌菌丝。从肝脏分离出的真菌表现出淡紫拟青霉和马克兰德拟青霉的特征，但更接近前一个物种。这显然是澳大利亚首次从爬行动物中分离出这种真菌的报告。
