Fecha de publicación: | 2024 | Publicación seriada: | Frontiers in Veterinary Science | Resumen: | On the 21st of May 2023, a dead adult male sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) of 13 m in length and estimated weight of around 18,000 kg was reportedly stranded at Playa Los Nogales, La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain. A necropsy was performed 48hpm. A 50 cm diameter and 9.5 kg coprolite was found obstructing the caudal colon-rectal lumen. Necro-hemorrhagic lesions were found in heart muscles and three different bacteria of intestinal origin were isolated and identified (Edwarsiella tarda, Hathewaya limosa and Clostridium perfringens). It is reported a lethal septicemia of intestinal origin associated with ambergris coprolite as cause of death in this sperm whale. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/129840 | ISSN: | 2297-1769 | DOI: | 10.3389/fvets.2024.1388276 | Fuente: | Frontiers in Veterinary Science[ISSN2297-1769], v.11 (Abril 2024) |
