    Extractions: This article first appeared in SQUAWK, the newsletter of the Big Apple Bird Association, and appears here with permission. Aspergillosis is the most frequently occurring fungal infection in birds. It occurs in acute and chronic forms. The acute form primarily occurs in young birds and newly imported birds and is the result of exposure to a large number of spores. The chronic form is more likely to occur in older birds that have been in captivity. Aspergillosis spores are widespread in the environment and many birds may carry them in their lungs and air sacks until immunosuppression or stress triggers clinical disease. Aspergillosis has been diagnosed in a variety of captive and free-living species of birds. It is characteristically a disease of captivity and close confinement, particularly when birds are kept in an unclean environment. Aspergillosis is most commonly caused by A. fumigatus, although A. flavus, A. niger, A. nidulans, and A. terreus may cause the disease as well. The fungus is ubiquitous in the environment and flourishes in rotting vegetation and decaying organic material. The disease is contracted as the result of inhalation of spores. It may also be contracted by oral ingestion, especially if birds are fed moldy seed. The fungus is also capable of penetrating broken skin and egg shells, and so is able to infect a developing embryo.

    Extractions: This article first appeared in SQUAWK, the newsletter of the Big Apple Bird Association, and appears here with permission. Aspergillosis is the most frequently occurring fungal infection in birds. All species are susceptible. It may be contracted as the result of inhalation of fungal spores or oral ingestion, especially if birds are fed moldy food or housed on contaminated bedding.Immunocompromised and malnourished birds are most susceptible to the disease. Diagnosis of aspergillosis can be difficult. A tentative diagnosis may be made of the basis of physical findings, a history of environmental conditions suitable for fungal growth, and recent stress. A hemogram may show a significant leukocytosis (elevated white blood cell count) with a heterophilia early in the disease. As the disease becomes more chronic, a monocytosis, lymphopenia, and non-regenerative anemia develop. An increase in total blood protein with a hyperglobulinemia may develop. Deep tracheal cytology and culture may be performed under anesthesia. A positive culture will usually be present in 18 hours. A single colony growth is considered significant.

    Extractions: A few brief comments on aspergillus. This is a disease that is most likely to occur in birds that are from environments where aspergillosis does not grow well (cool and dry or hot and dry environments). For some reason these birds have a poor ability to fight off this organism. Examples of these birds include sea ducks, ostriches, and penguins. The other predisposing factor is the density of spores. In buildings that are poorly ventillated spore density will increase. Less commonly we see individual animals come down with asper, even though they would not be considered at risk birds. Successful treatment for asper depends on many factors. The location of the infection (nasal passages, trachea, airsacs, lungs), the extent of the disease by the time that it is recognized, and the immune status of the bird that has the infection all are critical factors. Asper grows like mold on bread inside the bird forming colonies on the respiratory surfaces. This elicits a response from the host that causes purulent material to build up around the colonies. The fungus is invasive and in advanced infections will invade into tissues and eventually into a blood vessel. Once a blood vessel is invaded the organism will spread to other organs and block blood vessels. The tissues whose vessels are blocked die. At this point treatment is not likely to be successful. Treatment is also complicated by the fact that asper grows on the surface of airsacs where the blood supply is poor and lots of caseous material builds up in these areas. Therefore, it is difficult to get drugs directly to these locations.

    Extractions: Aspergillosis Description: Aspergillus - The genus Aspergillus includes a variety of related fungi which cause aspergillosis. An important member of this genera is Aspergillus fumigatus. This fungus produces endotoxins which are generally responsible for the disease known as aspergillosis. Aspergillus species are common in the environment. Spores often become airborne in dry windy weather spreading from one location to another. Spores can enter an individual and develop in the respiratory system, lungs, eyes, and ears.

[Text Version] Aspergillosis Click on images to see larger image in a new window Description Aspergillosis is a fungal disease of the respiratory tract of birds and mammals usually caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. A. flavus, A. niger, A. nidulans, A. terreus, A. glaucus and Penicillium sp. have also been identified as pathogenic. Aspergillosis was one of the first mycoses of birds to be identified, being first observed in a wild scaup duck in 1813. The disease usually occurs either sporadically (chronic) or in an acute epizootic form. Distribution Aspergillosis has a worldwide distribution having been reported in almost all domestic mammals and birds and in numerous wild species. Aspergillus sp. organisms are capable of living both a saprophytic and parasitic way of life and susceptible hosts have numerous opportunities to contact this agent. Aspergillosis is most often seen in wild and captive birds. Aquatic and scavenging wild species have the highest incidence rate while captive species are most susceptible when first subjected to captivity. This is especially true when an extended transporting is required in overcrowded and unhygienic conditions.

    Extractions: Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis: In some individuals, exposure to these fungi also can lead to asthma or to a lung disease resembling severe inflammatory asthma called allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis. This latter condition, which occurs only in a minority of people with asthma, is characterized by wheezing, low-grade fever, and coughing up of brown-flecked masses or mucus plugs. Skin testing, blood tests, X-rays, and examination of the sputum for fungi can help establish the diagnosis. Corticosteroid drugs are usually effective in treating this reaction; immunotherapy (allergy shots) is not helpful.

    Extractions: Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Aspergillosis is caused by a fungus (aspergillus) that is commonly found in the environment. It grows on dead leaves, stored grain, bird droppings, compost piles, or other decaying vegetation. It lung disease in three ways: as an allergic reaction in people with asthma ; as a fungus ball (aspergilloma) in an old healed lung cavity from previous disease such as tuberculosis or lung abscess , and as an invasive infection with pneumonia that may spread to other parts of the body by the bloodstream (invasive aspergillosis). Only the invasive infection is called invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and is much more serious than the other types of aspergillosis. The invasive infection can affect any organ of the body, but especially the heart, lungs, brain, and kidneys. Late in the course of the disease, the nervous system, skin, and other organs may become affected. Risk factors in addition to immunosuppression include a very low white blood cell count over a prolonged period. This is especially a problem in patients with prolonged neutropenia (low white blood cell counts) following chemotherapy or bone marrow transplantation.
