Mycotic spondylitis in broilers caused by Aspergillus fumigatus resulting in partial anterior and posterior paralysis
Abstract:
This report describes outbreaks of mycotic spondylitis in two broiler flocks of 17 and 19 days old. Postmortem examination showed kyphosis and compression of the spinal cord, due to osteomyelitis of either the cervical or the first thoracic vertebrae. These lesions resulted in partial anterior paralysis affecting wing mobility and posterior paralysis. Aspergillus fumigatus was cultured from affected vertebrae.
