Pulmonary aspergillosis (cow 2). Section of lung from a 2 year old cow with weight loss and anorexia since calving. On necropsy examination, multiple firm masses were identified throughout the lungs. These were cavitating in nature, with a necrotic centre and peripheral fibrosis. Both this section and the following one are taken from the edge of such a lesion and demonstrate the pyogranulomatous inflammatory response.

Aspergillosis in penguins. Lesions found in fatal cases of captive Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) with aspergillosis. Multiple granulomatous nodules in the parenchyma, characterized by friable necrotic lesions with distorted anatomy of the organ.

Aspergillosis in penguins. Lesions found in captive Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) with aspergillosis as determined by histology. Adherence areas of air sac to the celomic wall and white-yellowish nodule in the liver.

Aspergillosis in penguins. Lesions found in fatal cases of captive Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) with aspergillosis. Air sacs thickened with abundant plaque-like caseous and necrotic debris covering the wall with greyish-green fungal colonies on the internal surface.
