Fungal flora in the trachea of birds from a wildlife rehabilitation centre in Spain

Abstract: ABSTRACT:In the present work we study the prevalence of fungal flora in the tracheal epithelium of wild birds in a rehabilitation centre. Two hundred and sixteen birds representing 26 species from seven orders were sampled. Yeasts and moulds were isolated from 92 of the birds sampled (42.5%); in 24.5% only yeasts, in 12.5% only moulds and in 5.5% both moulds and yeasts together. The cattle egret was where the greatest number of animals with positive isolation was detected. The prevalence of yeasts shows signif… Show more

“…Three common pathogenic fungi were found: M. gallinae, which can cause favus (ringworm) in poultry [19]; Ca. albicans, which can cause candidiasis and death in young sparrows (Passer domesticus and P. montanus) [22,46]; and A. flavous, an important cause of avian aspergillosis and aflatoxicosis [68].…”

“…Sabe-se, no entanto, que espécies do gênero habitam sítios como tubo digestivo, mucosas e pele de variados animais, incluindo muitos pássaros (CAFARCHIA et al, 2006). Dentre todas as Candida spp., a C. albicans é a mais presente, podendo ser isolada principalmente dos sistemas gastrintestinal, respiratório e genital, tendo predileção pela superfície de mucosas e pelas áreas de junções mucocutâneas de animais de sangue quente (ELAD et al, 1998;FERREIRO et al, 2002;BRITO et al, 2005;JADHAV & PAL, 2006;GARCIA et al, 2007).…”

“…Vale salientar ainda que leveduras presentes na microbiota desses animais tem ganhando maior importância na micologia médica ao longo das duas últimas décadas, em particular a criptococose e candidose, relatadas com maior frequência, especialmente em pacientes imunocomprometidos (VELASCO, 2000). C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. incospicua, C. pelliculosa, C. famata, C. parapsilosis e C. guilliermondii são espécies já isoladas a partir de aves saudáveis (CARFACHIA et al, 2006;GARCIA et al, 2007).…”
