First report of typhlitis / typhlohepatitis caused by Tetratrichomonas gallinarum in three duck species
Two Red-breasted Mergansers (Mergus serrator), one Hooded Merganser (Lophodytes cucullatus), and one Common Eider (Somateria mollissima) from a German zoological collection died of necrotizing typhlitis / typhlohepatitis within two years. Using a newly established chromogenic in-situ hybridization a...
