Journal Article
A case of mortality in a re-introduced European bison associated with severe pneumonia caused by Dictyocaulus viviparus
2024
Overview
Background
Dictyocaulosis is a parasitic disease caused by pulmonary nematodes from genus
Dictyocaulus
affecting various ungulate hosts. It can cause verminous bronchopneumonia and for heavily infected individuals, fatal outcomes can occur.
Case presentation
The study describes the case of a male European bison which died three months after relocation from Slovakia to one of the reintroduction areas in Nucșoara village, Făgăraș Mountains, Romania. Necropsy revealed the presence of pulmonary nematodes in the respiratory tract. Morphology and molecular diagnosis was performed and
Dictyocaulus viviparus
was identified.
Conclusion
Rigorous health monitoring is essential to assure the success of reintroduction programs, understanding and preventing infectious diseases and limiting their impact on population health.
