Sažetak

This report describes an infection of Histomonas meleagridis in a turkey flock kept together with pheasants and geese on a farm. The owner observed a number of turkey deaths and two turkey carcasses were sent to the Pathology Laboratory of the Poultry Centre of the Croatian Veterinary Institute for parasitological diagnosis. Histomonosis was confirmed through histopathological and parasitological methods. In total, 150 of 500 turkeys in the flock perished. The owner was advised to enhance biosecurity measures on the farm.
