This study, mouth swap and wing feather samples taken from a one-yearsold
budgerigar with the complaint of hair loss and itching brought live to
Department of Microbiology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine were examined
mycologically. For this purpose, two serial cultures carried out from samples
were plated on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) and SDA medium containing
chloramphenicol, one series was incubated at 25 °C and the other at 37 °C for 5-7
days. Mildew colonies that grow at the end of the incubation period; colony size
and color, surface appearance, pigment formation evaluated macroscopically.
Smears prepared from colonies were stained with Lactophenol cotton blue
(LPCB) and microscopic examination was performed in terms of the length
of the conidiaphor, the shape and width of the vesicle, and the shape of the
conidia. As a result of macroscopic and microscopic examination of growing
colonies, two colonies grown from mouth and wing specimens at 25 °C were
determined as Rhizopus sp. (white-black fluffy), colony grown from mouth
specimens at 25 °C as Scopulariopsis sp. and colony grown from wing sample
at 37 ° C as Aspergilus flavus.
