“…Aspergillosis and candidosis have been reported in wild and domestic birds including ostriches (Archibald, 1913;Jowett, 1913;Ainsworth & Austwick, 1973;Campbell, 1986;Chute & Richard, 1991;Fuchs, et al, 1991;Perelman, 1991;Perelman & Kuttin, 1992). Zygomycosis occurs more seldom in birds (Loupal, 1981;Fuchs et al, 1991) and has not previously been reported in ostriches.…”

“…In ostriches the most common mycotic disease is aspergillosis (Archibald, 1913;Jowett, 1913;Perelman & Kuttin, 1992), but oral treatment with antibiotics may induce candidosis, involving usually the upper alimentary tract (Perelman, 1991). Other mycotic infections such as zygo-penicillium and malasseziamycosis occur more rarely in birds (Ainsworth & Austwick, 1973;Campbell, 1986;Breuer-Strosberg et al, 1990;Chute & Richard, 1991;Fuchs et al, 1991).…”

SUMMARYAn unusual disease characterized by anorexia, progressive stunting and stomach impaction was observed in young ostriches after treatment with antibiotics. The massive accumulation of a clear white gelatinous mucus adherent to the inner surface of the ventriculus plus a severe necrosis of the glandular layer were the only consistent findings.Histological examination revealed typical forms of a zygomycete invading the affected tissue. The zygomycete Rhizopus oryzae was isolated from the ventriculus of all the affected ostriches.

“…Although aspergillosis was reported in ostriches by the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century (Archibald, 1913;Jowett, 1913), to our best knowledge there are no recent reports of aspergillosis as a flock disease in this bird. In this paper we describe the occurrence of an outbreak of aspergillosis caused by a mixed infection caused by A. flavus and A. niger in an ostrich farm in Israel.…”
