Abstract :	[en] Pulmonary aspergillosis is a respiratory disease usually present in birds. The agent is an ubiquitous and saprophitic fungus, belonging to the Aspergillus genus, A. fumigatus being the predominant species. Debilitation and stress are favourable for the mycosis installation in captive wild birds (Zoo and rehabilitation centers). During 90-91 and 91-92 winters, 386 birds found dead at the belgian seashore were necropsied and 9 birds were carriers of specific lesions. Complementary investigations were undertaken. Most animals were oiled and had been kept for some time in rehabilitation centers.
