“…Criteria for suspicion of aspergillosis in penguins included clinical signs (increased respiratory efforts, abnormalities on respiratory auscultation), respiratory lesions on the CT scans (49, 50) (see the section above "Computed tomography"), 3hydroxybutyrate plasma levels above the cut-off value of 940mmol/l together with an elevation of the a 2 and b electrophoretic fractions (51), and elevated anti-A. fumigatus Abs (50,(52)(53)(54). Penguins were closely monitored by zookeepers each day, and any abnormal behavior was reported to the zoo veterinarians.…”

“…For certain avian species, such as penguins and albatrosses being treated in rehabilitation centers [ 12 , 55 ], and poultry (i.e., turkeys and chicks) in production settings [ 51 , 59 ] the management of flocks is more common than an individual bird, and therefore an earlier diagnosis can be an even bigger challenge. In this context, early diagnosis is essential for determining treatments, and serological assays seems to be the most promising so far [ 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 ]. However, since an efficient and financially accessible method for making an early diagnosis is not available, the diagnosis of aspergillosis in birds is commonly made only on post-mortem examination.…”

“…Mycological classic tests have low sensitivity and / or specificity, and use of serological tests, although indicated in the literature (Cabana et al, 2015;Tell, 2005) it is not in routine use, as the gold standard is still restricted to histopathological and mycological post-mortem (Cray et al, 2009a, b).…”
