Mykotische Infektionen bei Delphinen betreffen vorwiegend den Respirationstrakt und die Haut. Ein 8 Tage alter, weiblicher, gro\u00dfer T\u00fcmmler (Tursiops truncatus<\/span>) zeigte unkoordinierte Schwimmbewegungen und eine versch\u00e4rfte Atmung eine Stunde vor seinem Versterben. Eine Reanimation war erfolglos und eine Sektion wurde durchgef\u00fchrt. Histologisch zeigte sich eine unilaterale, pyogranulomat\u00f6se und nekrotisierende Otitis media mit intral\u00e4sionalen Pilzhyphen, die morphologisch Charakteristika von Aspergillus<\/span> sp. aufwiesen. Mittels molekularer Analysen des formalinfixierten, paraffineingebetteten Materials des Pilzes wurde mittels PCR Penicillium<\/span> sp. (section Cinnamopurpurea) festgestellt.<\/p>
