Mycotic pulmonary disease by Beauveria bassiana in a captive tortoise.

J F González Cabo1, J Espejo Serrano, M C Bárcena Asensio.   

Abstract

A case of fatal pulmonary infection in a female tortoise (Tachemys scripta) imported into Spain from Cuba is reported. Necropsy revealed general pulmonary congestion with pleuritis and a large number of yellowish nodules of the granulomatous type, similar to aspergillomata. Histological examination showed some infiltration of round cells, surrounding a small mass of fungal hyphae. Culturing on Sabouraud glucose agar, demonstrated the presence of a fungus whose macroscopic and microscopic characteristics corresponded to those of Beauveria bassiana.
