Helminthiasis and Aspergillosis Suspect Examination in Pigeon

Abstract

Pigeons are commonly maintained using a simple cage system, this system also easier to transmit disease such as helminthiasis and aspergillosis to infect pigeons. The air of this study was to know and diagnose changes in macroscopic and microscopic with histopathology method in pigeons. The organs examined are proventriculus, intestine, liver, and skin. Macroscopic changes were seen in liver change color into brownish-yellow on right lobes of the liver, hiperemi proventriculus, hemorrhage, and swelling intestine, baldness, and crust in the upper neck skin. Microscopic changes seen in hepar are white blood cell infiltration in triad portal, congesti and ulcer mucosa gland proventriculus, intestine shown epithelial erosion, rupture villi, hemorrhage and hyperplasia of cell goblet and skin shown black colored infiltration in dermis allegedly infected by Aspergillosis sp. From examination and observation, it can be concluded that macroscopic and microscopic changes lead to the helminthiasis and suspected Aspergillosis sp.
