| studies on clinical signs and haematological alterations in pneumonic aspergillosis due to aspergillus flavus in japanese quail. | intratracheal inoculation of 2-week old quail chicks with aspergillus flavus spores resulted in the development of clinical signs within 24 h of infection. these were characterized by dullness, depression, anorexia, accelerated breathing, gasping and prostration leading to death. these signs continued up to 7 days followed by considerable decrease in the intensity of the symptoms as well as number of birds showing clinical signs. mortality occurred primarily in the first week with a majority of ... | 1991 | 1779994 |
| mycotic salpingitis in a japanese quail (coturnix coturnix japonica). | an adult female japanese quail (coturnix coturnix japonica) was received for postmortem examination. necropsy revealed the presence of white to grayish nodules 2-5 mm in diameter on the serosal surface of the oviduct. aspergillus flavus was isolated from these nodules in pure culture. histologically, these nodules were medium to large granulomatous lesions in serosa and the muscular wall of the oviduct. the lesions contained a large central necrotic core surrounded by giant cells, macrophages, a ... | 1994 | 7702530 |
| Effect of feed contamination with aflatoxin B1 and administration of exogenous corticosterone on Japanese quail biochemical and immunological parameters. | Stress is the loss of homeostasis by external forces or stressors. Manipulation, transport, contamination, and other procedures involved in production could be considered stressors. Contamination is a problem commonly faced by producers in the poultry industry. Aflatoxicosis is one of the most common infections resulting from feed contaminated with Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. This study evaluated the potential effects of the combined administration of aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)) ... | 2012 | 22184427 |
