| description |
The giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) is one of the most endangered species in the world. Climate change and susceptibility to disease are two of the greatest threats to this species. We performed a necropsy and histopathological exami- nation of the organs of an old panda and investigated the pathogenesis associated with death. Necropsy and histopathological observation revealed some typical age-related lesions, such as cataract, atherosclerosis, renal insufficiency and splenic atrophy. We also confirmed hepatic lesions associated with parasitic infection. Overall, our observations revealed that the predominant cause of mortality in this panda was multiple organ dysfunction (MOD).
PATOLOŠKE UGOTOVITVE PRI SAMICI VELIKEGA PANDE – POROČILO O PRIMERU
Izvleček: Veliki panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) je ena najbolj ogroženih vrst na svetu. Vrsto najbolj ogrožajo podnebne spre- membe in dovzetnost za bolezni. Opravili smo nekropsijo in histopatološki pregled organov starega pande ter raziskali patoge- nezo, povezano s smrtjo. Z nekropsijo in histopatološkim opazovanjem smo odkrili nekatere značilne starostne spremembe, kot so katarakta, ateroskleroza, ledvična insuficienca in atrofija vranice. Potrdili smo tudi jetrne spremembe, povezane s parazitsko okužbo. Naša opažanja so pokazala, da je bil prevladujoči vzrok smrti tega pande disfunkcija več organov (MOD).
Ključne besede: star; veliki panda; disfunkcija več organov; patologija
