Resumo: | Aspergillosis is the most common avian mycoses, usually caused by Aspergillus fumigatus. Clinical signs in ostriches include weight loss, lethargy, and dyspnea. Predisposing factors include immunosuppression, malnutrition, unhygienic environmental conditions, pre-existing disease, and prolonged antibiotic therapy. This disease can occur in acute and chronic forms. Therapy is not recommended based on high cost and poor response. The best recommendation is the prevention. The objective of this work was to related the occurrence of chronic aspergillosis in young ostriches, 8-10 months, in a small farm in north of Paraná State, Brazil. The animals were necropsied and samples for subsequent bacteriological and mycological examination. In one ostrich was isolated and identified a mixed infection of E. coli and A. fumigatus, the other ostrich only A. fumigatus. The results indicate that A. fumigatus is an important etiologic agent of respiratory infections of ostriches, and measures to prevent and control this disease should be taken to reduce the economic impact of this disease in the production of ostriches. |

A aspergilose é a doença fúngica de ocorrência mais comum nas aves, geralmente causada pelo Aspergillus fumigatus. Os sinais clínicos em avestruzes incluem perda de peso, letargia e dispneia. Os fatores que predispõe a doença são imunossupressão, desnutrição, contaminação do ambiente, doença pré-existente e terapia prolongada com antibióticos. Esta doença pode ocorrer nas formas aguda e crônica. O tratamento não é recomendado, devido ao alto custo e baixa eficiência, sendo o melhor recurso sendo a prevenção o melhor recurso. O objetivo deste trabalho foi relatar a ocorrência da forma crônica da doença aspergilose em avestruzes jovens, com idade de 8 a 10 meses, em uma pequena propriedade no norte do estado do Paraná, Brasil. Os animais foram necropsiados e o material coletado para posterior exame bacteriológico e micológico. Em uma ave foi isolada e identificada a infecção mista por Escherichia coli e A. fumigatus, enquanto que na outra ave apenas A. fumigatus. Os resultados permitem concluir que A. fumigatus é um importante agente etiológico das infecções respiratórias dos avestruzes, e que medidas de prevenção e controle dta doença devem ser tomadas para reduzirmos o impacto econômico dessa enfermidade na produção de avestruzes.
