DUAL INFECTION OF AN AFRICAN FISH EAGLE WITH ACID-FAST BACILLI AND AN Aspergillus SP.
1 Veterinary Research Laboratory, P.O. Kabete, Kenya
Clinical, post-mortem and histological findings are described for an African fish eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer), which was naturally infected with acid-fast organisms. In addition to this infection, there was an invasion of the air sacs and, to a lesser extent the lungs, by an Aspergillus sp. The predominant clinical sign was dyspnoea and there were acid-fast organisms in lesions in the liver and kidney in addition to the respiratory tract.
