Transuterine transmission ofAspergillus terreusin a case of disseminated canine aspergillosis

D. Elad, D. Lahav, Shlomo Eduardo Blum

Abstract

Aspergillus terreus was isolated from the organs of a German Shepherd pup removed from the bitch by cesarean intervention. In the following days, the bitch developed signs of canine disseminated aspergillosis and was euthanized. The fungus was isolated from a necrotic lesion in the uterus and other organs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the transuterine transmission of A. terreus during a case of canine disseminated aspergillosis.
