Abstract

The clinical picture picture of abortion due to a combined infection by Aspergillus fumigatus and Cryptococcus neoformans among a herd of 55 pregnant buffalo-heifers was investigated. Characteristic skin lesions (mycotic dermatitis) were detected on 2 out of 7(28.57%) examin ed aborted foetuses. Mycotic placentitis was observed in all collected placentae. Both fungi were detected in stained smears from foetal stomach contents (F.S.C) of aborted foetuses, as well as placental smears. Both fungi were also recovered on culture from F.S.C., foetal lungs and foetal liver. Histopathological examination of aborted foetal tissues revealed the presence of clumps of Cryptococcus neoformans fungus in the sinusoides of foetal livers. Bacteriological and serological examinations failed to demonstrate other causes of abortion among those animals.
