| 中文描述 | 在孵化後5-10日,在一個水鳥公園的小鴨被注意到有體重過輕、發展過慢的現象。在驗屍的時候發現,在小、大腸中有許許多多腸鞭毛蟲COCHLOSOMA ANATIS。實驗小鴨的臨床現象可以發現,使用metronidazole處理過後,小鴨的體重獲得改進。由此事件可以發現,這生物和腸炎有關,火雞若感染也會有延遲生長的現象 (Bollinger and Barker)。 |
| 英文描述 | Starting at 5-10 days post-hatch, ducklings in a waterfowl park were noticed to have poor weight gain and delayed development. At necropsy there were large numbers of the intestinal flagellate COCHLOSOMA ANATIS in both the small and large intestine. Inoculation of experimental ducklings produced clinical signs, and weight gain improved after treatment with metronidazole. This organism has also been implicated in enteritis and stunting in turkeys (Bollinger and Barker). |
