Systemic mucormycosis caused by Rhizopus microsporus in a captive bottlenose dolphin

Abstract A 6‐year‐old female bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) kept in dolphinarium died after a 3.5‐month period of lethargy and inappetence despite antibiotics and supportive care. At necropsy, gross findings included diffuse varying‐sized nodules in the lungs and scattered nodules throughou...
