Degeneration and necrosis of Purkinje fibers with fibrosis around Purkinje fibers were found in the hearts of three adult black rhinoceroses (Diceros bicornis) in Zimbabwe in 1989 and 1990, among 38 animals examined from 1988 to 1994. Causes of death were not apparently related to these changes, nor was there evidence of heart failure. The etiology of these changes is unknown.
1988年至1994年间对38头动物进行检查,1989年和1990年在津巴布韦的三头成年黑犀牛(双角犀)心脏中发现浦肯野纤维变性和坏死,且浦肯野纤维周围有纤维化。死亡原因显然与这些变化无关,也没有心力衰竭的证据。这些变化的病因尚不清楚。
