Simultaneous detection of Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus luchuensis and Lichtheimia ramosa in a bovine abortion

This report describes an abortion case in a Chianina cow due to Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus luchuensis and Lichtheimia ramosa diagnosed by histology, cytology, culture and molecular assays. A mixed infection due to more than one fungus in abortion is rarely demonstrated. To our knowledge, this is the first case of bovine abortion caused by co-infection with three different moulds.
