Abstract

Pansteatitis can be fatal and contribute to wild crocodilian population declines. We documented lesions consistent with pansteatitis in two wild American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) from South Carolina and Mississippi, US. These findings extend our knowledge of pansteatitis in wild crocodilians, for which few observations exist beyond Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus).

野生美洲短吻鳄（密西西比短吻鳄）的泛咽喉炎。

胰腺炎可能是致命的，并导致野生鳄鱼数量下降。我们在美国南卡罗来纳州和密西西比州的两只野生美洲短吻鳄（短吻鳄）中记录了与pansteatitis一致的病变。这些发现扩展了我们对野生鳄目动物泛舌炎的认识，对于这种疾病，除了尼罗鳄（Crocodylus niloticus）之外很少有观察。

期刊介绍： The JWD publishes reports of wildlife disease investigations, research papers, brief research notes, case and epizootic reports, review articles, and book reviews. The JWD publishes the results of original research and observations dealing with all aspects of infectious, parasitic, toxic, nutritional, physiologic, developmental and neoplastic diseases, environmental contamination, and other factors impinging on the health and survival of free-living or occasionally captive populations of wild animals, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Papers on zoonoses involving wildlife and on chemical immobilization of wild animals are also published. Manuscripts dealing with surveys and case reports may be published in the Journal provided that they contain significant new information or have significance for better understanding health and disease in wild populations. Authors are encouraged to address the wildlife management implications of their studies, where appropriate.
