Chondrosarcoma with undifferentiated neoplastic cell proliferation around the distal tibiotarsus bone in a wild Hooded Crane (Grus monacha).

ABSTRACT: An adult male Hooded Crane was found dead on the Izumi plane. At autopsy, subcutaneous nodules were found around the medial and lateral sides of the left distal tibiotarsus bone. The largest cross-section of the masses revealed a multilobular pattern, with small amounts of viscous mucus. Histopathologically, the nodules were composed of three types of neoplastic cells: chondrocytic cells with abundant lightly basophilic cartilaginous matrices, mesenchymal cells and a small portion of the neoplastic tissue consisted of undifferentiated neoplastic cells exhibiting a high mitotic count and frequent multinucleation. This is the first case of a chondrosarcoma including undifferentiated neoplastic cell proliferation in a wild Hooded Crane.

Project description:The "gut fungal microbiome" maintains the immune system, homeostasis, and various physiological functions of an organism. Different factors shape and affect gut fungal diversity and community composition, such as environment, habitat type, food resources, and seasons during migration. Wild birds amid migration are exposed to different habitats with different environments, available food resources, and seasons, which may substantially impact their gut fungal community composition and diversity. The hooded crane (Grus monacha) is a known migratory bird that migrates over long distances and is exposed to varied habitats with different environments and food types. We investigated the differences in gut fungal diversity and community composition between wintering and stopover sites amid three migratory seasons. We deduced the gut fungal pathogenic diversity and community composition during winter, fall, and spring by using high throughput sequencing (Illumina Mi-seq), and the internal transcribed region 2 (ITS2) was examined. Samples were collected from Shengjin Lake in the winter and Lindian during the fall and spring. The dominant fungal phyla found across the three seasons were Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Zygomycota, and Rozellomycota. The gut fungal alpha diversity showed significant shifts during winter at the wintering site compared with the fall and spring seasons at the stopover site. The fungal community composition exhibited a significant change across the three seasons (ANOSIM p = 0.001). The results also demonstrated that the diversity and relative abundance of potential pathogens also showed divergence in winter compared to fall and spring. This study provides the basis for understanding the discrepancy in gut fungal diversity and community composition during migratory seasons at both wintering and stopover grounds. It also suggests that conservation measures should be applied to the conservation of hooded cranes and other wild birds, as the risk of cross-infection increases during seasonal migration.
