|
|
The diseased Chuckar partridges that were raised at the wild bird-raising farms located in Ockchun, Chungbuk province, were submitted for diagnosis in the laboratory in July. 1990.
The diseased partridges aged 3∼4 weeks old were shown clinical signs such as anorexia, depression, white-colored or transparent-watery diarrhea and droppng of the head and wings. At necropsy, major gross lesions were found in the livers, ceca and lungs.
Histopathologically, numerous histomonads were observed in the necrotic tissues of the livers and ceca.
In the cecal specimens, it was found that the ameboid histomonads have flagellum and the size of 10∼20 micrometer.
The case was confirmed as histomoniasis due to the infection of Histomonas meleagridis.
