Anatidae家族的静音天鹅(Cygnusolor)在欧洲的湿地中很常见。他们在非洲过冬,亚洲和欧洲的一些地区。该物种在其居住地暴露于许多病原体,包括可能由其他鸟类从热带国家引入的寄生虫,这些鸟类需要长期流浪并占据类似的生态位。一个这样的病例是子宫内膜的感染,线虫属于Filarioidea家族。它侵入鸟的心肌,根据一些作者的说法,这种线虫可能是天鹅死亡的主要原因之一。本研究的材料是一只大约2岁的雌性哑巴天鹅,在飞行过程中,波莫尔斯基省(波兰,53°50\'18“N18°12\'54”E),11月。在检查和医学观察期间,弱点,发现腹泻和虱子感染。最终死亡的原因归因于循环系统的故障。验尸后,在其肝实质中发现了两个直径为2-3cm的脓肿。在心外膜中可见三种线虫,在心肌中可见更多。切开心脏后,黄色小病灶,直径约1毫米散布在瓣膜上。根据形态特征,结论是由子宫肌瘤感染。据我们所知,在波兰,以前没有这种寄生虫感染天鹅的报道。
Mute swans (Cygnus olor) of the Anatidae family are common in wetlands of Europe. They winter in Africa, Asia and some parts of Europe. The species is exposed to many pathogens in its places of residence, including parasites possibly introduced from tropical countries by other species of birds that take long wanderings and occupy a similar ecological niche. One such
case is the infection of the Sarconema eurycerca, nematode belonging to the Filarioidea family. It invades the bird\'s myocardium and, according to some authors, this nematode may be one of the main causes of swans\' deaths. The material for the present study was an approximately 2 year old female mute swan, which during the flight fell suddenly to the ground in Pomorskie Voivodeship (Poland, 53°50\'18″N 18°12\'54″E) in November. During the examination and medical observation, weakness, diarrhea and infestation with lice were found. The cause of its eventual death was attributed to a failure of the circulatory system. Post mortem, two abscesses with diameters of 2-3 cm were found in its liver parenchyma. Three nematodes were visible in the epicardium and many more in myocardium. Upon cutting open the heart, small yellowish foci, about 1 mm in diameter were scattered over valves. On the basis of morphological features, infection by Sarconema eurycerca was concluded. As far as we are aware, in Poland there were no earlier
reports of this parasite infecting a swan.
